Hello,
I just did try to run the latest version (0.0.298-10) of discord portable but my installation of avast antivirus did block and removed it labelling the exe as Win32:Malware-gen .
I did a quick test on virustotal and actually there are 12 more antivirus programs other than avast considering it as virus.
https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/e9e58946ff392e863efe72aeb107671fe253c4dece599f3ccb9d381417d8f1c0/analysis/1502548486/
Even if I believe that this may just be a false positive (due to exe compression or packing?), I imagine that this may affect many other users and even scare them and prevent them to use the program.
Thank you and keep up the good work!

Hi @wokawoka,

Win32:Malware-gen and others found by the VirusTotal scan are generic.
Most likely based on a heuristic detection. Heuristics are more prone to false-positive detections.
You can have more info here : https://malwaretips.com/blogs/win32evo-gen-susp-virus/

I keep this issue opened for now and i will investigate on this.
And thanks for your contrib!
