Can you confirm this?

AV's are most likely detecting the function hooking code in Detours and assuming it's a virus / malware. There's certainly no malware intentionally checked into the repo.

We recommend that you exclude the directory where you compiling Detours from anti-virus scanning.

Closing this out.
