Hi. I'm one of the two devs working on the perpetuum client code.

Those are false positive hits most probably resulting from our client update system (the system replaces the program with a newer version and this behavior can easily be mistaken by antivirus software as it's something malware does a lot).

We have contacted the developers of the antivirus programs in question and sent the client for false positive evaluation - this means that once the client has been checked by them it will be added to their database and their next updates should recognize it as safe.

 Both the installer and the client test clean now, we're working on getting a digital signature so this doesn't happen again.
