First of all, I think FreeCAD is positively wonderful. Thanks for the incredible work you people have done so far!
One question though:
Just downloaded the latest portable windows release (0.19.2) from github here.
After unzipping, on Windows 10, I get a message from F-Secure that it has blocked the file "FreeCAD-0.19.2.7b5e18a-WIN-x64-portable1\bin\pcl_add_gaussian_noise_release.exe" on suspicion of being a bitcoin miner ("PUA/BitcoinMiner.Gen7").
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
I hope it is not a legitimate concern...

I just downloaded that release, unzipped it, and tested the suspect file with Virus Total.
Totally negative, including F-Secure.

Re: F-Secure "Potentially unwanted application blocked"
You are right, I verified this on my side.
Note that VirusTotal does say "May differ from commercial off-the-shelf product."
Still, my "consumer" version of F-Secure (fully up-to-date) most definitely flags the file as a bitcoin miner.
I did not experience any problems with the 0.19.1 release, but that doesn't include the "pcl_add_gaussian_noise_release.exe" file.
Re: F-Secure "Potentially unwanted application blocked"
Just to be sure, I submitted the file to F-Secure. Here's their answer:
...
Our analysis has found that the file you submitted is clean.
Our security products recently had a False Positive related to this file and the issue was then fixed automatically via F-Secure's Security Cloud.

Awesome, thanks. I've updated the thread title to reflect the news
