Falsely marked as malware about wedge HOT 7 OPEN

Tell me about it. I'm honestly going to sell out $400 for an EV Code Signing Certificate come tax season because I'm just plain tired of dealing with them.

You've had more of these kinds of issues than any open source software I've seen, so I don't blame you at all haha. I'd already given up in the past. The odds are definitely stacked up against these kinds of projects, but it's a noble and very necessary fight. Thanks for holding up the torch.

Have you tried compiling with a different version of RustC?

No. But that's some really good advice. I remember having to try several different toolchain versions to get the alpha version of wedge down to one false positive.

Tried a few different toolchains, and so far 1.59.0 gets the least false positives:

• 1.58.0 - 8 false positives
• 1.58.1 - 7 false positives
• 1.59.0 - down to 2 false positives No false positives google and ms!
• 1.60.0 - 7 false positives
• 1.61.0 - 7 false positives
• 1.62.0 - 6 false positives
• 1.62.1 - 6 false positives

Machine-learning based malware detection is a joke.

I've updated the release, and Microsoft defender is not quarantining the file anymore. Unfortunately, google chrome still prevents downloading the file, even though in virustotal google is absolutely fine with it.

On my end, I've found that if I roll back far enough I can avoid issues with google safe browsing as well. Using a nearly 4 year old toolchain and very outdated dependencies is far from ideal, but it'll work for the time being.

In the meantime I've reported false positives for the flagged binaries. I've also made several reports to google safe browsing here and here for repository, release pages and download links (objects.githubusercontent.com/...) marked as malware.

I'm new to all of this, so I apologize if this is not the right place to ask, but how would I determine which path the installer is referring to when it gives the error message "Error on step 4/5 The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)"?

That'd be a new issue, unrelated to this one. I created a new issue thread here: #3
