Facepager flags 3 malicious detections on VirusTotal #189

When scanned via VirusTotal, Facepager is flagged by three engines: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d766cf76925ba49669e0f4358b1f5ddd68799ed9b426b84f7f920cdc850c27b3?nocache=1 It's possible these are false positives, or caused by the installer technology rather than the product. But I think it's worth raising for response.

Wow, that's interesting, thank you for testing, how comes? It looks like the used NSIS installer needs an update, I will check this.

Well, I created a fresh build environment on a computer not used before and this is the result: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d655143123d0218f318a44d25c2db5f7e452d96e2ab41f235f0b895f3189b9bb

I'm not sure what this means...guess it comes from the installer and is a false alarm? I will try to dig deeper, any hints are welcome.
