This reminds me of may of one of my favourite piece of software, Mail PassView, which is (AFAIK) considered Malware bei Windows/Defender because it shows you the passwords you entered yourself in Outlook (but forgot to write down somehwere).
Flagging Malware is hard, and research/dev tools are always behaving at least similar to Malware (because we want to get data/do stuff regular users won't do).

I have the same problem because my installer uses NSIS. And once my DLL also was flagged as a virus / malware even though it's completely legit :/ , everything is signed properly. Anyone knows how to improve this situation ?
