virus total identified this as a trojan.... really?

I checked the report. This is basically false positive. The only anti-virus software I trust is Bitdefender and also I don't use any and rely on the default windows defender which is actually the best.

The reports by different anti-virus is very weird all of them are showing an entirely different type of threat.

Apart from that, the code is open source and very straight forward and I have used proper comments so you can understand whats going on here.

If you have any doubt, you can build it yourself using the code.

One of the reason it is flagging it as malware is because it used re146.dev website and downloads the file. Since the detectors don't know that the file getting downloaded is a mod they might think it as malicious software Downloader.

okay, just would rather post it and it be a false positive than actual malware. Thanks for clarifying

Thanks for the suggestion. I will add the virus total scan results and md5 checksum as well.

Meanwhile i will investigate and see what it the root cause for these tools to flag it as malicious.
