It doesn't complain when the file is unzipped, so getting around the heuristics somehow would be nice. Maybe package it up to something else than a zip as well, like .targz or 7z ?

I guess a new release would do

[martinpaljak]

Please put something in that file as well before new release: #313

I now tried to download the lastest version of vicc to overcome problems with phyton compatibility. But encountered this as well.

Policies in virus scanning prevents me from accessing this file.

My own experience: Firefox 146.0.1 flagged the downloaded file as "not commonly downloaded" which may be the first time I've ever seen this message, and I've never seen this even downloading builds from much more obscure projects. I only run Microsoft's default protection (Defender or w/e it's called) and it never made a particular fuss about this. Both installer and certificate gave usual warning prompts being from an unknown source. Would it be worth signing the installer with the root cert that we self-install, hopefully relaxing some of the warnings?

Regarding the VirusTotal scan, I think a 1/89 detection ratio is pretty good especially for a smaller project. Essentially a false positive.
