VirusTotal and Windows Smartscreen!

[tromlet]

Hey!

Lovely app, looks great. I was wondering, on VirusTotal, it looks like Google flags it as having something - and when I went to install it, Windows SmartScreen blocked it without me having to click ahead to "Run Anyways". This might dissuade some adoption, just FYI.

Hi! some Antiviruses doesn't like rust compiled apps, It's curious because some user reached me on Reddit with another VirusTotal capture and then other AV detected (with other issue) and Google is fine. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4d65579354979dc61c19699f05e43b9f20e3a9b2a9da5d0b1b0fa663daeb3fac?nocache=1

Windows Smart Shield should work with some sort of "trust algorythm", as I'm using a free self-signed certificate this app could take a while since is trusted by windows (I think Mac OS is even worse without paying).

I think life is not easy for non corporate developers :(

Yeah, I figured it was some kind of false positive - just Google isn't one of the less reputable AV providers there, and I'm not sure how developers go about designing their applications to look "good" to VirusTotal.

It definitely isn't. Microsoft isn't a friend to open-source, but until we get everyone on real operating systems, I just thought you might want to know. I don't know what it takes to get an authenticode certificate from Microsoft. :(
