They’re well aware of the issue, and it isnt something they can fix. Its up to the AV to do it.
Sadly this keeps reoccurring with me as well and its getting pretty annoying, the only solution is to disable all security protections on your computer which is just unacceptable.
That is not the case with me, at all. My AV will trigger a warning, and asked what action to take. I choose to allow it, and it never bothers me again (until next update).
We are already doing everything possible to alleviate the issue with antiviruses.
We always inform antivirus vendors about False Positives, and Miqobot project is also subscribed to premium VirusTotal services that send automatic notifications to them.
If you upload Miqobot to VirusTotal, you may notice that our executables are published in the VirusTotal Monitor collection:

You can report false positive behavior to Microsoft via a simple submission form:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission@iifetap, don’t be stupid. Just put the .exe in a separate folder and whitelist that specific folder.
i.e. Windows Security -> Virus & Threat Protection settings -> Exclusions
Oh and you might have to temporarily turn off the real-time protection when moving the file to the whitelisted folder. I have my download folder for Chrome whitelisted so I can’t say for sure.
