Not all that long ago I had notified several members of the pcsx2 team about an attachment on the website that was being detected as a virus. Of course I knew it was a false positive and just recently there was another attachment that had the same detection. The attachments in question were of nothing important and could have very easily been removed hence removing any detections from pcsx2.net which would have been the smart thing to do. But they chose not to. So how can anyone expext the emulator to be clean of false positives when they can't even keep they're own website clean?
Please keep in mind I'm not being disrespectful at all. That's just my way of making the point.
It's not something that the pcsx2 team needs to manage. It's the fault of the virus scanners being way too sensitive.
Avast acknowledged it was a problem on THEIR side the last time this happened. This isn't the first time a mass false positive occurred for pcsx2 as you're already aware. And generally if you report the issue to Avast they will resolve it with a definition update. (The most recent event of this was the padnull.dll issue).
