Duplicate of #190. Short answer: because the damn anti virus companies are sloppy and they just mark a lot of things. It sometimes gets flagged and sometimes doesn't. :|
See #190. We will probably address it by signing the binaries at some point.
Unfortunately I don't have enough computer knowledge to evaluate the source code, even if it seems quite unlikely that an opensource software on github has malicious code. But the high positivity of the file forces me to desist from installing it for safety.
I understand, that's a reasonable approach.
I have the same issue. When I download the file, firefox marks it as malicious:
Affects versions 0.30.6 and 0.30.5 but not 0.30.4

To tell the truth they are all "infected" some more or less, the last one is the one with the most reports

Which just comes to show how unreliable all of these virus checkers are. :(
Let's continue the discussion in #190, as this one is a duplicate.
The file etesync-dav.exe v0.30.6 downloaded from your repo is marked as malicious by firefox and 26 antivirus! How come? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c8dd38618ba4920e40f8e98471a59383c4d6cfe576604f86c5e4635b4447f722/
