the system has detected a virus

does same scan show this for v0.6.1? they use same compiler

I just submitted same zip to some online antivirus scanning tools and it came up clean

0.6.1 ok / 0.6.2 virus (google chrome doesn't let you download the file virus detected)

I tried recompiling from fresh git clone, uploaded https://github.com/forkserf/forkserf/releases/download/v0.6.2/Forkserf-0.6.2a-Win64.zip

Can you provide an English translation of the above screenshot you pasted?

When I download v0.6.2 (or v0.6.2a) in Chrome I get a warning saying "this file is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous" but nothing about an actual virus detected.

some research suggests this might be a common problem and false positive: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2260149-false-or-real-trojan-threath

also: "Wacatac is not a specific virus name, "!ml" means machine learning, which refers to a program that Microsoft has that tries to learn which features of files are common to malware and which aren't."

I have submitted the file to all of the online virus scanners I could find and is shows clean. I think this must be a false positive. You mave have to switch browsers or change some system setting to bypass the block.
