Kaspersky Security Cloud detects as a false positive?

You can compile the program yourself. I'm not focusing on false positives of pseudo-AV programs.

Hi again @TheGhostie21.

Sorry for the "cold" reply yesterday. I appreciate that you spent time to inform about this issue. It's just that I don't like false positives, especially from antiviruses accused of being spyware themselves: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaspersky_bans_and_allegations_of_Russian_government_ties

Anyway, I released version 1.3.0.

This version was compiled without unused functions (which I used for testing different solutions). Could you please test and see if Kaspersky is still crying?

[Starship4605]

No worries! It's understandable.

I’ll try testing it tomorrow. Hopefully, it doesn't trigger a false positive.

Till the meantime, have a great evening! You made a great program so far! ^^

[Starship4605]

I'm back,

yeah when I try to download it, it just keeps warning me as usual. But what I did, I added the file to the exclusion list and it worked! ^^

Off-topic: I hope it's not your screenshot? I don't think the whole Users folder should be excluded.

[Starship4605]

Oh, I excluded just the file itself (in the Downloads folder); I didn't show it because it had my name for users.

[HerMajestyDrMona]

Ah, i thought you added a wildcard exclusion for the whole Users folder :)

@TheGhostie21, could you please check if version 1.4.0 still has false positives problem?

[Starship4605]

yup, it seemed to fixed the issue ^^
