Thanks for your great work!
Thank you for the report, but this is a "false positive" result of Windows Defender. See e.g. https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/862271c3d2b8221ce7c887ffa719682f7049956dbec5b40735d0876e98c90a39/detection for more comprehensive results. For former reports see the thread starting with https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-April/075888.html Microsoft's false-positive reporting facility number 82655139-6978-4eeb-80c2-7e1e72f820a6 Related: https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-April/075978.html - Gnucash 3.0 Microsoft Security Essentials Threat Detected > Is there a way for the developers to have this file correctly categorized/assessed by MSE? So I will keep this open for the results of the register process, but reduce the importance.
... and adjust the title.
We never heard anything back from Microsoft about the false positive report, but we also had no reports of similar problems with Gnucash 3.1.
