when i used the old version 15.5 for a quite a time now after i downloaded it i scanned it virus total it detected as trojan but no problem had with it but now new version as released i downloaded it and windows started to block it as virus and unable to download also so i guess it has virus or something it got more 7/41 in virus total i forgot to take ss of virus total but i uploaded of windows defender

i think it is not safe now,are you guys also face same issue?

It's false positive. Better report it as safe if you want to help.

If this were a virus, it wouldn't have 13k stars. Plus, the source code is fully open source, so if there was a virus, someone would have already spotted it in the code.

This application is out on the wild since at least 2016 and is trusted like a rock.

false positives are very common with virus total

Same issue on my side with ESET Antivirus, since 16.6 release.

for those who are curious what this application does at the system and network level. I have run it in a sandbox with Windows 10 and these are the results it gave me:

https://app.any.run/tasks/5ef2574c-2e61-4282-90a1-f57561e608f4

First it detects malicious activity at the process level, but 0 threats at the end of the .exe file execution.

@bynafrez08 The part that says it's accessing raw profile github data, is the version check I do with the version.txt in the repo itself
