Research direction

Start by locating how the Windows release archive dist-windows-latest.zip is built and reviewing the reported antivirus detections in the issue thread. Check whether the build process or archive contents explain the reports; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or resolving it so the release is no longer repeatedly flagged.

Description

Hey @tasn

I'm trying to integrate EteSync with Windows using your pre-built release "dist-windows-latest.zip", but the file continually gets picked up as containing a virus, on multiple machines and with different virus checkers. Is this a known issue?

Thanks for your help!
