AV programs will do what they do. Since CSpect isn't a program that's used by huge numbers of people, they always flag it. Add to it that it's obfuscated, and I open files in share mode etc... they will pretty much always flag it.
While I could pay "hundreds" of pounds/dollars for a code signing certificate, they are of limited use anyway, and for a free product, I'm simply not willing to pay that expense.
I "might" see if I can put it on steam to download, as that skips the AV issues, however without a full UI, you lose that command line use, and it becomes harder to use...
Understood, thank you. It's a pity that the circumstances are that way, but I understand your choices. FWIW maybe you can work out a solution to open the sources without giving up the control over the emulator. I'm saying this only out of wariness that such a good and cornerstone piece of software may be gone one day if you decide to retire or otherwise lose interest. I decided to become a patron to motivate you to hang around for longer :D
