exclusion is not the solution.we need clean wallet lets see if dev can fix it

The problem is in the IRC module used... it cuases false positive.

I use this and other wallets that have this type of false positive problem in some antivirus and I have not had any problems.

Again, the solution is not to set up exclusions. That's like asking for only pain medication when you have a broken leg. This needs to be fixed by the dev.

I agree that the solution isn't to set up exclusions, the better and right solution is to update the wallet so that ideally, the wallet isn't detected as a virus. At the moment, a non-techie person would likely be scared off installing it if their AV program alerted them to a virus and that reduces the likelihood of wider, mainstream coin adoption.

Here's the issue. I'm a software developer myself and when I downloaded the wallet and AV picked it up, I refused to execute it. Why? well two reasons.

1. Too lazy to look through the source to see why AV is picking it up since my time is more valuable than that. I'm sure it's a false positive but again, I'm not spending my time looking through source when I do that all day for work.
2. I trade other cryptos like everyone else and I have lots of sensitive info so I'm not going to take the risk of executing something that could spawn a keylogger or something and potentially lose all my investments.

Some new trader is going to feel the same way. This should be addressed.
