Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no? I’m not telling you to read every comment of every post, you can just skim the post titles. Then you’ll see multiple open issues and a few closed issues too going back 5 days to the latest BtS update.

Though I haven’t followed this project long enough to tell if this is just the way they normally behave.

Edit:

I’m back at my computer, so it’s easier to edit and add info now.

Some key points that have stuck out to me:

  • Previous version released in July only triggers 2 detections on Windows defender versus 29 for the most recent version: https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png

  • Users getting constantly pestered to update to the latest version: https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png

  • Yeah, naturally, the dev is going to say it’s a false positive. Obviously. I’ve only mentioned that the dev has previously responded because some people barely skimmed through the issues and thought the dev simply hadn’t seen the latest open issue from only a few hours ago, when that is not the case.

    the issue was just posted 7 hours ago. maybe they just haven’t seen it yet.

    There are multiple posts going back 5 days of people asking about it. Check closed issues too, the dev even responded to some of them by saying it’s only a false positive.

        What else are you expecting them to do then if they already answered? Write an essay on DLL injection and walk everyone through the code line by line to convince them it’s not malicious?

        I said that to indicate that the dev had already responded to the posts, and they were not in a different time zone or on vacation, as you suggested in another comment.
