McAfee and others flagging exe as malicious

[jkister]

Not sure if you can do anything about it, but virustotal is reporting that several anti-virus engines are reporting the latest vlc-protocol.exe as malicious.

I can (or anyone else can for that matter) report them as false positives to the vendors. But honestly it is a ~~cat and mouse~~ whack-a-mole game and I don't care enough for this project to make the effort myself.

But there are two options for those that are worried:

• Use the bat solution. You can easily look at those files and build confidence that they are not doing anything fishy.
• Compile the exe yourself. Instructions are here: https://github.com/stefansundin/vlc-protocol/tree/master/windows#harder-exe-install
