dist-windows-latest.zip being detected as trojan virus...

[stix78]

Hey @tasn

I'm trying to integrate EteSync with Windows using your pre-built release "dist-windows-latest.zip", but the file continually gets picked up as containing a virus, on multiple machines and with different virus checkers. Is this a known issue?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks so much for replying @Benjamin-Loison , that's very helpful. I read that as that the service might get blocked, rather than the file download would get blocked. Does it surprise you that the file download would get blocked?

I never faced a case where an anti-virus blocked a virus and not a correct file, so I don't like them and don't have much experience to help you sorry.

I've just seen a similar issue logged back in 2022 (#259 ). Does that mean this issue is intermittent? Are previous version builds available (the obvious ones here on GitHub appear as "expired")?
