I scanned 2 times with a different analyzer it gave the same result trojan taskun.

this trojan affect the performance

There is no Trojan and performance is unaffected. Because Flow Launcher isn’t white listed by the virus scanner and it detects Flow Launcher has code to launch scripts and other software (which is the main purpose of a launcher) it get flagged.

I can understand your concern however and you’re more then welcome to not use Flow Launcher. But I can assure you there is no malicious code.

It’s definitely false positive. What’s the scanner you used? I can reach out to them and see if this can be corrected.
