Same here. I really like it, but I don't imagine many people getting on board with this problem.

Also not open source, likely this software is scam.

omeryanar commented 3 years ago

I'm not sure why this is happening. After fixing some bugs, I rebuilt the project but still some antivirus engines mark the main executable as malicious. It is probably caused by the native Win32 methods used. It's open source now (though it requires a commercial library to build) Build it and see it yourself, and if you find out the reason, please let me know.

Thanks a lot for open sourcing!

omeryanar commented 3 years ago

You are welcome. If you have any idea why this is happening, let me know so I can fix it.

What do you mean? Unless I'm missing something the source code is all here.

It is an old comment, the project was not open source at first, because it requires a commercial library to build. It is open source now and If you have a DevExpress WPF license, you can build it and see that the main executable is flagged as malicious. I tried it on several different PCs and the result did not change. This really worries me about how reliable the antivirus engines are :)

While a lot of these are Machine Learning detections or rather unknown vendors, the problematic part is that Microsoft now flags it too. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/8b8f5419f5080feef195b7b72971ecc6e375dbe6ce86eb825eed6c8311b762a2/detection
