Some antiviruses seem to be claiming it is adware: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/ad7e15e8f5e5630b7a6d690d35f6e2e47b1ade477d2c1c9aad4b01a77bcf584d/detection

I have no idea why, there's definitely not a virus inside it. (if there is, or someone has any idea how to figure out what it's detecting, then tell me)

Last time this happened I just had to change the compiler settings around a little.

Spyware
Contains ability to open the clipboard
Contains ability to retrieve keyboard strokes

lol, apparently clipboard usage and keyboard shortcuts count as spyware >_>

but anyway, i'll see if I can reduce some of the things on that list. A lot of it is probably from SDL though.

OK, I made some commits that should fix the issue.

We weren't using this cpu checking code. Originally it was used to check for AMD CPUs and show an AMD icon next to your name. (The creator of TPT worked at AMD): https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy/commit/f76d10df4d4b16400cbf2a47ebf95e1241c9c4cf

Also removing this flag removes almost all the false positives: https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy/commit/491d61a9cab2b1d738aabc2fbd6c096b0796ccac

I checked virustotal, the "viruses" were added in snapshot 113. This is the commit that started causing it: https://github.com/ThePowderToy/The-Powder-Toy/commit/39d62f1aad13a2dd934643b222be9687edef1aba

A lot of the other issues that site reports are caused by the installation prompt. If TPT had a separate installer this wouldn't be a problem. Not sure I want to figure that out right now though. It just doesn't like that TPT writes to the registry.

There is no threat. I haven't done a 2nd beta, so the first beta with the virus false positive is still the one you got.
