I ran a VirusTotal scan on my app so I could post it on a Discord Group, and it came back with a PUP, https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/05f096b531db218fa7ab9769bc9e2eeb5e8b61ea02ac2ae09e5eeb0b2a5c160b/analysis/1501404990/. I have no malware and have not edited the file.

Run almost any other Virus scanner and it is probable it will not flag your app. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mitappinventortest/virus%7Csort:date has several discussions of some of the less popular virus scanners flagging AI2 apps as inappropriate. Mostly apps that use the texting component .

Try a different 'free' scanner and see what it tells you. There is always the possibility of malware. If you are still concerned, use a different compiler or get a different virus checker.
