Thanks for reminding me of that little twist. There is no good technology that some <censored> individual can't turn to evil. However, the website you suggested isn't raising flags from the same AV products that I got the reports on from YAAC users, and I sent them the YAAC.jar file from the official build 159 release (re-extracted from the zip file on my website, in case the website was attacked).
So, hopefully the rebuild for build 160 will move the bits around enough to avoid further false positives.

Hi.
Maybe a false positive.
Try submitting the file(s) to the virustotal website
and see how many (if any) other AV tools spark on it...
It's also not unknown, for legitimate and safe library code to have been
used by some miscreant, so it then gets wrongly tagged with a "It's
Malicious" flag.
Had that happen at work some years ago with code I was working on. A
third party multi-mode communications library was being flagged as bad.
Our co's IT people helped submit it for "analysis", where it was found
safe. Seems someone else was using the same library embedded in some
malware.
