Issue

I had this issue months ago and resolved it by just reverting to the last version that didn't flag my app, but now I want all of my users to benefit from all of the cool updates that you all are doing, yet I seem to still run into both windows and virustotal claiming there's a virus when I use the latest electron-builder. Virus total shows this is the virus: Trojan[Exploit]/EXE.CVE-2016-0099.Generic

One of the main reasons I wanted to update the app was because I was getting reports that when a few users updated the app it uninstalled it without ever reinstalling.
