AV flags this as malware

Just a heads-up, Bitdefender deletes the .exe claiming it's malware. I get that it's most likely a false positive but you might want to know about it!

Thank you for reporting!

This tool doesn't use any online features, so I think it don't behave like malware. (I'm making a shortcut with a relative path, which may be the reason.)

The editor is checked with Windows10 OS standard antivirus.

I've scanned by AppData folder with Windows Defender and it says that it has something called Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

containerfile: C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\f_00058a

file: C:\Users\<myname>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\f_00058a->files/lovery_composer.exe

I hope this is fixed soon.

Now I checked it with the standard virus scan of Windows 10 OS, the same malware name was detected.

Well, this tool is made with Python and PyInstaller, but there seems to be a problem that the executable file (.exe) made with this PyInstaller is often false detected by the above malware name.
(ex: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43777106/program-made-with-pyinstaller-now-seen-as-a-trojan-horse-by-avg)
Malware with the same name was detected in a game that was I made in the same way as before too.
I think that is probably the problem this time.

That said, the vast majority of users will feel uneasy, so I'd like to improve this situation as soon as possible, but I'm not sure if it will work because it seems to be a problem with false antivirus detection.

Thanks for your report!

It seems that it is currently detected at the rate of 11/61 on sites that can perform batch scans with multiple antiviruses.

I think it is a false positive, but I would like to see if it can be improved. :)

I changed the executable file creation tool from PyInstaller to Nuitka. As a result, the number of cases detected by antivirus has decreased to 1 of 60!

Perhaps the last one is false detection that based relational shortcut  to .exe file.

I want to think that this has solved it. Please check ver.0.0.2. :)

I can now start the application! Thanks!
