msfs2020-go: some scanners from virustotal.com triggers false-postive
all important scanners are fine with the builds. (Microsoft, Avast, ClamAV, F-Secure, CrowdStrike Falcon)
but MaxSecure triggers a false-positive for Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen that i haven’t found a way to work around.
previous discussion https://github.com/lian/msfs2020-go/issues/13
edit: Microsoft now too, although yesterday it liked the exact same zip file, now it says Trojan:Win32/Emali.A!cl
this is from the official golang website: https://golang.org/doc/faq#virus
Why does my virus-scanning software think my Go distribution or compiled binary is infected?
This is a common occurrence, especially on Windows machines, and is almost always a false positive. Commercial virus scanning programs are often confused by the structure of Go binaries, which they don’t see as often as those compiled from other languages.

MaxSecure is not very good as Anti Virus, he detected a .txt file as a virus… Link of VT report.
Still detecting as a virus with 0.0.7, Edge Chromium/Defender
