Arx Libertatis Bug Tracker ~ [CLOSED] #1555 - 1.2 installer sets off antivirus warnings

If you have malware installed on your system that randomly deletes files I suggest you contact your antivirus vendor - oh wait...

Seriously though, there isn't really anything we can do about this. With the current state of Windows antivirus I suggest ignoring all machine learning detections like those that contain "!ml", "!ai", "!cl", "Generic", ".Gen", "Artemis", "ML." in their name. It is disappointing to have to give this advice since there is legit malware out there, but the current state is ridiculous.

As for signing the executables: That is expensive and complicates the build process while not even making any guarantees or allowing reputation to carry across different releases from the same publisher or of the same software, unless you get an EV certificate which are only available to corporations. I'd be happy to use signing if there was a sensible solution (like there is Let's Encrypt for SSL), but there is none.

If you want, you can try submitting the file as safe here, but it is unlikely to do much as the next release will be flagged again by our artificial "intelligence" overlords: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
