1.19: Norton Virus Alert

Just downloaded the latest (portable) version of Log4OM. Norton Antivirus is not happy with it and removes ~20 files based on the WS.Reputation.1 threat. Most likely a false positive but just wanted to make sure the ZIP is clean?

Thanks for the update

Hi Matt,
recently i have added some "code obfuscation" to Log4OM to avoid unwanted "Prowling" into source code (was extremely easy before, as unobfuscated code is clear like reading a book, but not everyone is fair as we expect...)

This has greatly improved some routines (you can see Log4OM is now faster) but can "confuse" some antiviruses).

The antivirus you reported is marking Log4OM as "unsafe" due to the low reputation of my website (unknown to the masses :), not a drug seller point :D)

Avast and Microsoft antivirus doesn't report any threat, but i can't override your antivirus. Keep your system safe, if you have doubts run an indipendent check with online antivirus or similar until you're satisfied ;)
