Unfortunately, to use this program, I always have to set an antivirus exception because it will end up quarantined otherwise. It's also difficult to get other people to use the program when the see it being flagged as being unsafe.
Is there any way to ascertain exactly WHAT is making the AV software think that it is unsafe? With 16,000 lines of code I have no idea what to even look for.
It must be the compiler. Years ago, in RapidQ I got false AV detections when I compiled a program. I had to use "upx ultimare packer for executables" software to uncompress the exe file and then compress it again (not nessessary) with the -1 option. Then there was no AV detection. But I don't know if upx works with 64 bit. I would change the settings in QB64 Compiler and if there was no result I would use upx.
