gcov.exe must be malware

[kajihara-kiyohiko]

I installed x86_64-13.1.0-release-win32-seh-msvcrt-rt_v11-rev1.7z in https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases, my anti-malware software notifies me that gcov.exe is malware. Also VirusTotal indicates that it is malware (see https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0dce658138023ab7aefb4d0ddd82aac8020fe4e7881db8a27cf0c4180bbfd618/detection). I suggest you investigate.

I checked my collections of mingws and can confirm, that gcov from gcc 13 generates false positives on VirusTotal.

Getting flagged by Microsoft's protection racket scheme doesn't indicate something is malware

There is extremely little that can be done about such a false positive
