dude, I love the program. You are killing it. It's the best thing for the pixel and you deserve a medal. It makes the phone useful.

• guy who writes software and knows what goes into this.

my fault for not reading far enough to see the bullet point about virus after you sent me a link to troubleshoot.

Why would I open an executable to run a report when an antivirus TELLS me there's a trojan!? lol. Illogical.

Nobody is forcing you to do so, you're not happy with the situation, move on, don't use the application.
I'm not wasting time chasing lazy AV companies for their constant false positives.
The code is open source, feel free to inspect it.

PS: this wasn't some lazy AV in the wild - it was Windows Defender. Every ahole has one, it's part of windows.
Read through the forums you pointed to.

I recall an oldie but a low-hanging goodie from old hacking days: encrypt the file.
Lazy AVs can't look inside anything that's not a zip file. Million encryption/encoding techniques out there.
Unless you are using it to install immediately - then yeah, this would be pointless as it would kill it once you decrypt it to a folder to run it.
