Yeah, I had this problem when shipping go binaries on Windows. Antivirus vendors really do not care that your program regularly shows up as a false positive due to their crappy heuristics, even if you have millions of users.
- anfragment 8mo agoHave you tried code-signing with an EV certificate? If so, did it help? Asking for a friend.
- monocasa 8mo agoStatistically notable improvement, but it didn't help a whole lot.
- yndoendo 8mo agoI always upload a copy to https://www.virustotal.com https://www.virustotal.com to help combat the false positives. It was really bad a couple years ago because anything wrapped in Inno Setup kept being flagged. Now maybe one or two flag vendors do; Bkav Pro and CrowdStrike Falcon are the dominate culprits always.
- monocasa 8mo agoUploading to virustotal doesn't really do anything to combat false positives AFAICT. It only lets you test against many AV vendors at once.
- accoil 8mo agoIt's a common enough issue with go that they wrote a faq on it too: https://go.dev/doc/faq#virus https://go.dev/doc/faq#virus
