Hi, I'm a new follower, and I just bought Lovely Composer two days ago. I tried to download the latest version, but according to Mcafee, it said the file had a virus. What is that supposed to mean?

The latest version 1.3.3 is currently receiving 15/70 malware judgments on VirusTotal. However, we believe it is a false positive and are working on it.
We have asked Microsoft/Avast/AVG/Symantec/Malwarebytes to handle false positives. As a result of the each expert's inspection was a false positive of all. And the false detection was deleted.
A few days ago, also we've sent a request to McAfee to fix false positives, but haven't received a response yet.
It's actually harmless, but if you're still worried, use 1.3.2 as it's less likely to be suspected.

The virus false positive problem is a common problem with modern programs, and it is difficult for home-developed software to adequately deal with it.
Especially now when using Python3.10 and the Nuitka --onefile setting it's even happening with simplest "Hello world" programs and it's out of control. And it is difficult to support all minor anti-virus software and those that do not have a corresponding contact point.
But many users are worried about it, so we're considering recreating apps in a different development environment.
