When checking with VirusTotal the 64-bit WindowsShortcutArrowEditor.exe has two positives.

 

The x86 has one.

 

I suppose they are false positives but it would be nice if you informed about this on your download site or - even better - prevented this by changing your exe files.

 

I'll wait testing your app till VirusTotal shows zero hits.

 

Cheers!

This is old post from 2012, so this issue may have been fixed in a newer version of the software.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
