Hi Michael,

I just ran zVirtualDesktop.exe into their analysis scan and it came back with malicious threat score 53/100 You might like to try this out to see what it reports? They have a submit this report as a False Positive where you can provide explanation on sections, and why you believe that the chosen reports sections are False-Positive. Just thought I would bring this to your attention.

If I may ask, any news on version 2 that you mentioned you are working on? Thank you...

Kind regards CC

Please don't abandon this @mzomparelli, your software has great potential, albeit seemingly a little bloated at times.

I am not abandoning version 1 and I am still making time to work on version 2. I still use this on Windows 10 daily and at some point I will be on Windows 11. I'm never going to charge for this app again and version 2 will be open source once I get something running. If you want to help encourage me to make time for version 2 then please consider becoming a patreon supporter. It's hard to find the time these days.

@ComputerCulture thanks for pointing this out to me. Do you have a link to the report you are referring to? I wouldn't blame you if this was enough to prevent you from using the app. I might do the same thing if I were in your position. I would like to think that you all trust me by now and I attach my real identity to this application. For what it's worth to you, this application does not perform any malicious activities and does not send data through the internet. It used to send data for activation and license purpose, but that is no longer part of the app and the services on my side have been turned off.

I suspect the issue with it being flagged has something do to with the obfuscation utility I perform on the app before I release it. I'm using .NET Reactor version 6.9.0.0. I am going to continue to obfuscate version 1, not because I'm hiding something malicious, but because I'm hiding the code in general. I'm not particularly proud of the code structure. I've learned a lot since I started this app and much of that has never been applied to zVD v1. It started out as a prototype and then I just kept going without too much care of the structure. It's still maintainable, but I'm just not proud enough to show it off to the world. Main reason why I want v2 and for it to be open. Plus that means no need for obfuscation.
