[GNC] [Spam] Re: Possible malware in GnuCash 3.14 for Windows

[MegaBrutal]

Please know that most antivirus software has a portal where you can
send in executables for deeper analysis. Usually when you send in your
software builds on it, they'll find that your software is not a virus
and update their definition files to whitelist your executable as
known non-malware. Not GnuCash, but I'm developing a health check tool
for a certain type of Linux appliance. Sometimes I need to drag it
through Windows machines which tend to have an antivirus and sometimes
they block my software: as it goes through deep system settings, run
DB queries and the likes, heuristics may understandably flag it
suspicious. To avoid this, I learned to proactively upload my release
builds to VirusTotal to see which AV engines flag it: usually it turns
out to be Microsoft and sometimes Norton I think. Then I go to their
respective malware analysis submission forms and upload my executable.
Soon they send an e-mail confirmation that they found my program not
to be a malware and update their virus definition files globally so
that I won't be annoyed by false positive detections. I suggest the
same strategy for GnuCash builds.
