VirusTotal Gives 6 AdWare Alarms for v1.3.2 #17

VirusTotal gives 6 different adware alarms for v1.3.2. As Kaspersky is one of the scanners that gives an alarm, I'm suspicious it's real.

Comments?

I've read through the Xb2XInput source and have two open pull requests to add features. I'm confident there is no malware in the Xb2XInput code. VirusTotal result for the Xb2XInput.exe binary I have shows 0/72 detected as well as libusb-1.0.dll: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/2d9c4aa996501b1561fb03fed6e13b6c68964ff966d573324a5549d84577099e/detection

It seems to be detecting wdi-simple.exe used to install the controller drivers. I'm guessing due to it installing trusted certificates. I have not seen any adware issues since installing the drivers, but if you don't feel comfortable running the wdi-simple.exe utility, the source code is here and you can compile it from source to be sure you are running the committed code.
