I see the PCUAE Manager (v2.5.2 and) 2.5.3 detected as "Win32:malware-gen" by virus scanner AVG, also according to virustotal; most probably a 'false flag'.
When building the PCUAE Manager 2.5.3 source (using jdk16.0.2 and maven 3.8.5 ('mvn verify')) the generated exe seems 'improved' (no malware flag), however now lacks 'updater.jar?.
Any idea how to build including this 'updater.jar' (if needed?).. or maybe newer PCUAE manager could fix this 'false flag'...

I generated the update.jar file from Eclipse IDE that I use for development.
You can generate an Eclipse project by executing
mvn eclipse:eclipse
in a cmd window. Import the generated project in Eclipse. In the root there is a file named "updater.jardesc". Double-click on that one in the package explorer in Eclipse and it will show a dialog for generating the updater.jar in the src/main/resources folder.
Then you can build the exe with
mvn clean install
and the updater.jar will be part of it.
Not sure why the antivirus thinks it's malware, have not seen that myself.

Thanks, this generated an exe including the updater.jar perfectly (and no AVG virusscanner 'false positive' here)
(About the false positives: just upload github's PCUAEManager.exe 2.5.3 to virustotal.com to see these..)

I released a 2.5.4 version where I rebuilt the PCUAEManager.exe using java 18. It seems like AVG does not detect it now, can you please test that one? |

Nice!
The PCUAEManager.exe v2.5.4 (github) started troubleless, no 'AVG false positives' messages anymore.
The pcuae-pcuaem-2.5.4-full-setup.exe (www.projectcarouselusb.eu/release-pcuae-1-7-3/ ('2.5.4 full version') gives still a 'false positive' with AVG, however when extracting contents using 7ZIP the extracted directories are detected clean!
(maybe it's time to switch to another virusscanner for me...)

AVG is Avast so they are both the same, they use the same app, only difference in them is the name, just in case you didn't know...  I always use Microsoft Antivirus that comes with Windows 11, I have tried AVG and Avast and they have to much pop up asking you to buy the full version, I had to stop its notifications in the end and it blocks Remote Desktop so stops it working.
