Great fan of the program, really love using it for overwatch but recently my antivirus has been flagging the program as a trojan, more specifically the "nssm.exe" which is being read as a "trojan.win32.agentb.iwfj"

What AV are you using ?

Mind reporting is as suspected false positive and let them check it out ?

3.2.3 had some AV false positives 3.2.4 is a bit better in this regard but many AVs dont like NSSM.exe because its usually bundled with trojans (sadly because its such a great software).

I might actually need to create a custom service implementation just to get rid of the constant alerts.

Hello,

Sorry, it was a false detection. It will be fixed.
Thank you for your help.

Sincerely yours,

Im tired of doing this for each release so stay tuned for the new version without nssm.

MartB commented

Please check the newest version 3.2.5 too!
It doesnt contain NSSM and should not get blocked by kaspersky.
