Would love to use your portable apps but I cant use the latest version because McAfee thinks it contains a virus.
Version 0.0.305 does not have that issue.
I hope something can be done about it. I have similar issues with brave-portable.

@git-nico Sometimes Antivirus scanner reports that a program is infected with a Virus or Trojan, even when the program is not really infected with any malicious code. This kind of problem is known as "False Positive". In other words, Antivirus companies cause a big headache to small developers.

As stipulated in the FAQ, those detections are generic. Most likely based on a heuristic detection and more prone to be false-positive and this happens quite often with programs written in Golang. The best you can do is to report this to your Antivirus software vendor as a false positive.
