I compiled a new 0.5.0 source based Win executable with PyInstaller 4.3 and pushed to VirusTotal

There are no major AV vendors that detect false positives with the changes.

I reported the false positive errors to the following vendors:

  • SecureAge APEX
  • DrWeb

Zillya does not permit submission of the Slice.exe file size (~35MB) through their online reporting tool and I am unable to locate a process to report a false positive to Jiangmin.

Production Win installer for v0.5.0 has no false positives flagged! https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a2acaf1c1128e763717bce336069e7fb9a2e6cf406217c89e37d257c6d098e25/detection
