 Note: This has happened with v2.4.1 for the first time, but it has happend again since. However, the result of my investigation has always been the same. Therefore this section applies to current versions just as well.
 
+In general virus scanners tend to distrust binaries that are very new and haven't been seen by a lot of people yet. Therefore each new release, which by its nature contains binaries no one else has used before, is prone to be falsely detected as containing malware.

 Several times in the past [users have reported](http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/allegedly-backdoor-in-windows-installer-v2-4-1.html) that their virus scanner detected a virus in the installer for Windows available on my site. I could verify that some virus scanners did indeed detect something, but most others did not. There are several reasons why I'm 100% certain that this was a false positive:
 
 - The build process for the installer runs exclusively on Linux. *MKVToolNix* itself is built on Linux with a mingw cross compiler, and the installer itself is built with a Linux version of the NSIS compiler. Afterwards the installer is uploaded to my Linux-based webserver by the Linux program Unison.
