Let's please try to avoid getting into more of this nonsense. I understand that common Windows users have a very different thread model than linux developers, hence the crappy Anti-Virus rootkits. I'd expect the Windows dev audience we're targeting with D to be a bit more capable than common Windows users though. OTOH company policies for Windows devs might require UAC and disallow installing untrusted stuff. >> I'm also reading that once the executable has been downloaded a number >> of times from different IP addresses, it will be registered as safe in >> Microsoft's database.

Beta is 2 weeks sounds fine then. So please download and install the beta, sth. you should always do ;). Fortunately Microsoft has finally bumped their max filesize on the Binary submit form from 20 to 200 MiB (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission). I just submitted the beta installer using my private Microsoft account (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/submission/9180949d-7efd-403f-b7e2-66e334e3e37e). Would be good to know exactly the recognized "Detection name" Windows Defender found (see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=849601#detection-history). In case this helps we can look at automating this using a dlang.org specific account. -Martin
