Windows download flagged as having "Trojan-PSW.Agent" by VirusTotal

[cbourner]

I have hesitated to install on Windows after performing this check. Is this a real issue?

Evidence of check attached here.

Do you have URL to the check?

Hey, developer here. I did a manual retest with VirusTotal, and it seems we do actually have 2/62 reports on VirusTotal:

I believe these are false positives. From a quick internet search, I found other OSS software being incorrectly reported as a Trojan-PSW.Agent from Ikarus. I will try to email them notifying of the false positive. About the Google detected status, I have no idea, but will try looking into it too.

If you are still uncertain about our software, I just want to clarify that our official releases are built on isolated GitHub task runners and the whole process can be publicly analyzed here:
https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/actions/workflows/release.yml

Just click on the action specific to the release you have downloaded and choose your OS/Arch combination, and you will be presented with the full logs of that build. Also, the installer is uploaded directly from the action to GitHub's release:
https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yml#L132-L148

Last case scenario, the app is fully open source, so you can also build it yourself, it should be reasonably easy if you have basic CLI/terminal experience, just follow the instructions here: https://github.com/spacedriveapp/spacedrive/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#making-changes-locally
