Right. AV software seems really poor quality.
I recently updated my Windows app. VirusTotal showed 14 AV products detected my program as malware, when it clearly wasn't. I tried to report the false positives, but the vendors had terrible and inconsistent ways to do this (or even none for some). Even Microsoft's website didn't work when I tried to upload the program ("upload failed - please try again later").
I searched on the internet, and at least I found a workaround which was to recompile a library I used. This fortunately reduced the false positives down to a few products I hadn't heard of.
At this point, it's very hard to trust AV products with anything.
