Pointing out: VirusTotal is detecting 3 vulnerabilities, mostly as Malware.

[Weej1]

Behaviour

This does not affect Desktop as badly as mobile. On cell/mobile, the first thing you can see is a linked exe file that actually takes you to the VirusTotal link. There at the top, it shows 3 issues found. I know the 'Assets' dropdown is where the actual downloads are. But it's not clear and the 3~4 virus alerts may not seem reassuring to first-time visitors. ( I assume these are false positives but let me know if I'm wrong)

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. go to Github link via cell phone and click on exe link
   

2. End result shows multiple Virus alerts
   

Expected behavior

VirusTotal should report an all-clear status and actual links to the portable app should be more prominent, especially on mobile devices.

Sometimes Antivirus scanner reports that a program is infected with a Virus or Trojan, even when the program is not really infected with any malicious code. This kind of problem is known as "False Positive". In other words, Antivirus companies cause a big headache to small developers.

As stipulated in the FAQ, those detections are generic. Most likely based on a heuristic detection and more prone to be false-positive and this happens quite often with programs written in Golang. The best you can do is to report this to your Antivirus software vendor as a false positive.
