Antivirus complains of Java Trojan for mockneat-0.3.8.jar

See original GitHub issue

My antivirus complains of the following message for the mockneat library. The version I am using is 0.3.8.

Virus: Java.Trojan.GenericGBA.20288

Is there any possible changes that can be made in the next version of this library so as to avoid such for future versions?

@dishantkamble I’ve sent the request to Microsoft for this false positive.

If you want to help you can also submit the .jar file as a false positive:
