it says it in the title.

It is detected with 100% confidence as the Predator Trojan. I would be cautious until the developers address this.

Yeah, I'm not touching this until this gets addressed.

Highly suspect that I'm being forced to use "VIA" now when qmk worked perfectly well until now.

I uploaded both the app.asar and via-1.3.1-win.exe file to virustotal.com and did not get any detections.

I did however see the comment linking the automated report: https://www.joesandbox.com/analysis/352258/0/pdf, which seems to be detecting something that the other antivirus scanners are missing, it is likely that this is a false-positive.

The joes sandbox analysis is based off of a machine learning algorithms, so it may be a false positive, VIA's power to flash new firmware may be the reason that this is caused.

You can keep using QMK. There is nothing stopping you. This is a gui frontend for QMK.
