</h3>
203+
<p>In some virus scanners the OpenAndroidInstaller shows up as a virus or trojan. This is a false positive. We
204+
explain the issue here.
205+
The code and build process of the distributed files is completely open source and can be found on github. So
206+
people can verify that it's not malicious software.
207+
</p>
208+
<p>The Installer is bundled and compiled python code made into an executable file. This is done with <a href="https://pyinstaller.org/" target="_blank">pyinstaller</a>.
209+
As it turns out, false positive issues are known and people encounter them regularly.</p>
