Some antivirus products generate very many false positives. (Source.)

I don't think we need to fear that WinCompose contains actual malware. (Source 1.) (Source 2.) (Source 3.) Still, it's unfortunate that the false positives happen.

It would be a good idea for someone to report the false positives. Especially to MalwareBytes and to McAfee, since these are reasonably-popular antivirus products in the US.

Please see #447 regarding McAfee, and #416 regarding Malwarebytes.
