  "Legitimize your stuff before releasing it...."

  by akhilneo on October 22, 2008

  Pros: Never had a chance to try what looked to be a fundamentally solid security tool.....

  Cons: ... because hey!! Nobody told the developers/promoters of this one to contact "City Hall" 1st!!! :-(
  
  Yup, that's right!! My A-V detected it as a TROJAN!!!
  
  What the #&$^...!?!?

  Summary: ..... NOBODY likes to be "told off" by their resident security suites!!! And NO, I am NOT interested in all the lengthy explanations, work-arounds, etc etc...
  
  Bottom-line...? Do your "homework" before you start publicly hosting software!!!

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  I've seen the issue you speak of but false positives are nothing new:
  
  http://antivirus.about.com/library/weekly/aa031001a.htm
  
  "In December 1999, Norton Antivirus began false-alarming on the Macromedia® Flash Player and files created by Flash"
  
  So would you say that Flash is a virus? At least Norton at one time thought so.
  
  All I can tell you is I have a lot of users.
