Blessed seems to cause our application to be marked as malicious by some Antivirus software

Hey Guys!

We are using your package in our app AlDente since a few months ago and we are generally very happy with it. Blessed really makes the workflow of installing the helper application much easier. Thank you for your great work!

This being said, we have received some feedback from our users that AlDente apparently is marked as a trojan bitcoin miner by one antivirus software called "DrWeb". See this issue.
After searching around what could have introduced this flag, I found that if I remove Blessed from the project, the antivirus doesn't detect it as a trojan anymore.
I am not in any way suggesting that this library has any malicious intent. Like I already wrote in the statement on the issue, I am very sure that this is a false positive by DrWeb.

Do you have any idea on why Blessed could be the reason for this false classification? If you need any extra info like the test-compiled version without Blessed or some implementation code, please let me know.

Thank you for your help and kind regards,

David
