yes, Emsisoft says the same. Confirming it. Scary to use :)

Will take a look into that. We may need to update the installer libs e.g. electron builder as it may be old code from those being detected. It really doesn't look good to first time users and would scare them off.

Is this still the case? I believe this was due to a tool inside electron builder.
