Several users have noticed this app being flagged as a false positive by different antivirus apps. It turns out these antivirus vendors are flagging the signature of the entire Go programming language.... basically everything written in Go is marked as a virus. See [golang/go#16292](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16292). Details about how NVM4W is dealing with this are available in [issue #182](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows/issues/182).
