Has anyone got to the bottom of whether jackett has a trojan or not? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So a couple of months ago, windows defender started flagging some jackett files as trojan, it's still flagging it for me. Devs told everyone to just ignore it. Do we have a consensus about it?

On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything

That's the usual sign of a false positive, a real malware/virus issue would show up in pretty much all the main scans.

EDIT: Here's another scan, 0 antivirus vendors flagged in this one - Jotti is a much smaller site but you get the idea
