Google Drive Saying "zipchord-install-2.4.0.zip" is infected with a virus #210

Hello All,

I uploaded ZipChord to google drive to download on another computer that has no access to GitHub due to an internet filter.

When I go to download, google drive pops up the attached notification.

Is it correct? Why is it saying this? 17195383499101237883681812990721

A false positive detection by antivirus programs has come up from time to time. I was searching for a Google page that would allow me submit the file for review and alert them to the error in the detection (similar to what you can do with Microsoft, which I had done a few times in the past when Microsoft would incorrectly report ZipChord as a virus), but I could not find one.

Please see under https://github.com/psoukie/zipchord/wiki/Privacy for a brief explanation of what exactly ZipChord does and does not do, and for why from time to time antivirus software incorrectly flags it.

If anyone finds a resource where Google allows reporting of false positive and submission for deeper review, let me know.
