[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #65479] Many detections by several antivirus

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #65479 (group octave):

i ran all of the 9.1.0 installers through virustotal with none getting
flagged.

We have had issues in the past where individual files were getting false
positives flagged by some vendors despite the installers coming back clean
(some refuse to take time to scan large zip files).  AVG was a repeat offender
there.

We have taken some developer time in the past to individually submit file
samples to the vendors to try to whitelist the program (i think 7.2.0 was the
last major headache there).  It would help if users could assist in the false
positive submission requests to their respective vendors. numerous vendors
ignore anything but customer requsets, each requires individual attention,
etc.
