Windows 10 - "Virus scan failed" or "Virus detected"

[milostosic]

msi file isn't signed and neither is the MTuner exectuble, since certificates are not cheap, this will likely remain so.

The virus detection is unrelated to executable signature. What is more, windows defender is not the only one which detects a virus, as can be seen here: https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/8aa7617ea2e830aa5f5b4ab0f951e1bf0b905d55f95da429114861b154133f92/analysis/1504519168/
The virus seems to be located in MTuner.cab->MtunerCmdl

Please reopen this issue

I was able to track this down to retail configuration of MTuner.com vs release/debug configurations.
Compiling in retail triggers false positives by several anti viruses - not really sure why.
I'll upload the "clean" releases later today.

Update: turns out command line programs that have no user input or no output tend to trigger this with anti-viruses. I modified the behavior and it seems to be 'ok' now.
Still need to wait for the new release to finally close this...

New release is up, scanned with defender, downloaded fine, etc.
I've scanned unpacked files as well, just to be sure, came out clean.
