A few antivirus are blocking the app

Avast, AVG and Ikarus are blocking the app:

This seems to be falsely flagged as a PUP (potentially unwanted program).

Make sure you are downloading from the official website if you are concerned: https://howtoconvert.co
The app is also notarised and code-signed by Apple and Microsoft before distributing.

If you get this, can you submit the file to avast or whoever your antivirus is for analysis? It should be in the three dots or somewhere on the page.

Make sure to pick the false positive option if there is one, so they know to check whether it is a false positive or not

This appears to be a pretty common false positive. I have just submitted to avast for review.

If you could do the same, that would be much appreciated.

If anyone uses Ikarus, please submit your file to them for analysis.

Ikarus appears they have a pretty high false positive rate for this, so it seems like a common issue. If you are concerned, I would scan with Windows Defender on Windows (is far more reputable).

Sent to AVAST for analysis as well

Thank you. Apparently, false positives like this are quite common especially with new software, so hopefully they sort it out soon.

They removed the fasle positive \o/

Great to hear. Thanks for submitting so they could fix it quick!
