I'm afraid you're writing to the wrong place; we merely maintain the 
upstream source code and do not generate the binary executable that your 
software is complaining about. I suggest writing to whoever generated 
the program you're actually running. Or pedrhaps you can write to 
whoever is maintaining your antivirus software.
