The issue seemed to have been inherited from the very First DEV.
Current Dev might have complied his source code from the very first version from the old DRZ Dev = version 1.2.0.
I scanned all the versions (because I saved all the version files)
The issue is not evident in version 2.1.1.2, so everybody on version 2.1.1.2 is safe.
It may be a minor issue, as stated above
this is NOT an issue ...
the majority of the 'newer' wallets developed in visual studio show a false positive due the components of visual studio that gets implemented / compiled into the wallet ...
in fact - some of the components of mingw - when the wallets have been cross compiled from linux - also show a pup signature ...
the virus programs are designed that way - heuristics in ALL viral scanners work that way ...
if there is ANY issue at all - it is with the virus software NOT updating the whitelists ...
you dont get this issue in linux ...
everyone needs to understand that the paranoia that windows users have are a result of the lack of security in the windows os ... with these wallets - you will find that not all scanners see this as a pup ... that is enough evidence to prove that the reliability of such applications to verify whether a wallet is virus ridden or not - is questionable ...
the bottom line is simple ... if you are in doubt - dont use it ... there are other ways of getting wallets to store coins - like using a trusted service ... but even then - the issue on that side of the fence is not the trustworthiness of the wallet - but the reliability of the service being provided ... so where can you win in this situation? ...
if the development of the windows wallet BY windows software is showing a pup signature - then isnt it microsofts responsibility to fix the issue? ... or they making too much money to worry about stuff like that? ...
the code is not the issue here ... tried scanning dash or litecoin or even bitcoin wallets compiled in the same visual studio software? ... you will be very surprised what the viral scanning software comes up with those also ... false positives more often than not ..
