Your installer was detected on my Windows 7 machine as a virus. http://imgur.com/a/47tsP


Yes, McAffee complains as well [1]. I don't know why :(

Because antivirus software tends to be a huge load of crap that will flag anything just slightly out of the ordinary with annoying popups to give moronic customers the impression their wasted money actually contributed to system security. Don't worry about it and tell users to remove that garbage from their systems.

If more developers stopped putting up with it for fear of being associated with malware, this shit would come to an end quickly.

Alternatively, you can bend over and ask them nicely to consider the flagging of your app a false positive. If you're lucky, they might add an ultra-specific whitelist entry so that their software will shut up until you update your app (or compiler, …) the next time. Repeat until your butt can't take it anymore.

Hey martin-adams, we are really targeting any sector which wants to communicate the current project status. I've taken in your advice though, as I could describe this better on the landing page.


Good work. You should probably apply some basic SEO work to it also. e.g. your missing text in your <title></title>


Really cool! I hated that website. Thanks


hmmm seems this has been taken down for copyright issues.


I receive errors when trying to login with facebook. I want to be able to test this service without being a member like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/

Simply letting the author know.
