Compiled version of TCT is flagged as malware by anti virus software

Virus total is telling me that this piece of software contains malware in it

Hi! It seems, this often happens to compiled Python programs. See [1], [2], [3].

I can assure you that the program is safe. One of the ways to verify this is to look at the imported libraries and confirm that it doesn’t connect to the internet at all. This is an open-source project, and I have personally reviewed every change.

It is possible that malware could be present in one of the libraries. This is an unlikely scenario, but not impossible.

I also recommend running the original Python version if you don’t trust the compiled EXE file.

Do not use the software if you have any doubts.
