Developers check why the file is displayed with a virus

Hello! Dear developers, please see why octobot for windows is defined by Kaspersky as a virus? And unlock me in telegram

Hey @mk2607, we recently get a lot of spammer chilling scams on telegram, it's possible that we mistakenly banned you, sorry for that. Please pm me your telegram handle for me to unban you, this was not intended. My telegram handle is @kylemon
As you can see, the whole OctoBot project is open source and you can check the code yourself if you are afraid that it might contain viruses.
Another user on discord also reported that Kaspersky is flagging the executable as "malicious". We will investigate the issue to understand what is really going on there and we come back to you.

Thanks!

Update on the situation:
We reached out to the Kaspersky technical support for a double check and they just confirmed that it's a false positive.
=> There is no virus in the software.

OctoBot executable and download links will be authorized again in the next version of Kaspersky.

Thank you again @mk2607 for notifying us about this issue.

Hi, I just downloaded the latest version of octobot for windows, Kaspersky really fixed the problem with a false result and now the file is downloaded without problems and is not recognized as a virus! Thank you for your work, friends! Develop only for the better!
