Thanks for the report. I will see, what I can do about it. Previous versions of Velvet did not have this issue. Velvet V3 is build with a new Rust version, which was upgraded to LLVM 13. Perhaps this new version generates "unusual" patterns in the executable, which trigger some heuristics in antivirus scanners.

Windows Defender now doesn't even allow to add velvet 3.0.0 popcnt sse4.2 to aooroved apps. Now using nopopop exe added to approved apps before launching. Please try to fix it.

I just released a new minor release version, where I switched to Rust v1.56.1. As far as I can see, this has solved the false positive detections.
