Hi ! You can read about antivirus false positives here : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Antivirus-false-positives

I try to keep fighting against false positives against latest version, but it's unfortunately impossible to scan the hundreds of previous ones against false positives which could have come later: for false positives against older versions does not hesitate to submit it to your antivirus: false positives submissions form is available here for Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission?persona=HomeUser )
