You may want to read the report yourself first:

Now, what does that tell you? Also, this project is open source: github.com/crosire/reshade . Seriously ...

I understand exactly what the report is stating ... 'Minimum Risk' ... the point you seem to be missing is that minimum risk is still risk and some people will not download & use anything that is questionable ... open source or not.

That being said, my sole intent was to inform the developer(s) and get them to submit their files/packages to Symantec for registration so that, upon initial and during early releases like this, uninformed users DON"T get messages like this.

Being 'Pro-Active' on things like this can keep allot of potential users from turning away from your products.

Seriously!

The issue solves itself in the course of a few days or a week. This is something that will happen with every new release and it will happen to a broad range of different AntiVirus tools, so that it is not manageable to submit to each and every one, especially since the speedup that would provide is usually minimal. Fortunately some AntVirus software have added this domain to their whitelists in the meantime, but there will always be cases that cause initial problems.

Also, if you have good intentions with a post, you may want to make that more clear. A post titled "Trust issues" with no text but a report comes across very negative and attacking, so that any immediate feedback is likely to be emotionally affected.
