#### Why is the release reported as malicious by some antiviruses? #### Why is the release reported as malicious by some antiviruses?
Some obscure antiviruses find our binaries suspicious due to the way go packages them. I think the only way to solve that would be to sign them (not 100% sure though), but I'm not paying to work on free stuff. If anyone is bothered by this, and would be willing to donate a code signing certificate, let me know. Some antiviruses find our binaries suspicious due to the way go packages them.
