@fellipetav disabling your antivirus or marking this file as safe in your antivirus is a temporary solution

@abhinav-TB , thank you!

I was specially concerned if there was some actual problem or even a virus put by someone who wanted to "play".

I have been using this for a while and examined the code, Just mark it as safe in your virus software.

When I compile my code locally it doesn't get detected as a virus. However, when I download from GitHub it gets flagged for me as well. I guess it has to do with how much it's downloaded or some other algorithm they use. You can always compile your own version by downloading Go. I'm closing this issue now, feel free to reopen if you still have doubts.
