ITs up to people to trust an unknown source or not; but any supporting evidence would be help in banning the perpetrators and associated binaries... So I suggest you take clear notes of what web addresses/sockets that binary is communicating to; as that is a means to verify the claim through 3rd party testing.
I myself compile XMR-stak with the devfee and devfee URL's removed; and I don't have 70 pages of history/reviews... but in the end, its about being from a trusted source is why people have used my binaries to be frank.
In the same note; I have had countless people try and piggyback their builds onto my thread; which I quickly delete and have none of that; because I have no idea who they are, and what is in their binary.
Be aware; Most miner apps now; that tend to contain standardized code structures for lets say SHA256 type hashes which are an integral part of many many different algos; will show up as a trojan/virus merely due to that signature that is common with the malware miners that have been around in the past (ones you don't know are on your machine, or ones run in the background of a website, etc.). My xmr-stak binary also fails some virus scan protections for the very same reason..... You yourself can actually compile the same source; with the very same changes I have made (which I would happily provide); and see that your binary will indeed carry the same false detection.
