This release has 26/60 detections on VirusTotal by the security vendors. I don't know if these are 'false positives'. The code includes mining algorithms. The security vendors may flag crypto and mining code as viruses and trojans as a general policy, just because such code is often included in malware.

For comparison, the last release of the Bytecoin GUI Wallet for Windows has 28/59 detections on VirusTotal (Armor was forked from Bytecoin): https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4b17d6fc7caf0c29bff0dabb3f413b053df7b595f839e0ce278ca55c12f9e152

If you are concerned by this:

• check the source code
• build your own binaries
• run it sandboxed, e.g. in a VirtualBox VM
• or use the linux release which has not been flagged by any of the security vendors as malicious
