I just tried to run Xoroshiro on one of my Windows machines with Norton Securities installed. Immediatly after download of the wus it flagged "xoroshigo2_wrapper_1.02_windows_x86_64.exe" as infected by "Win64:Evo-gen [Trj]". My other Windows machines protected by Windows Defender didn't report such a problem yet It may be nuisance

The Evo-gen part of the name suggests that it is detected using heuristic analysis or machine learning, rather than a specific virus signature. Some safe programs may trigger this detection just because they look suspicious. There's not much authors can do about it except report it to Norton as a false positive. It's a never-ending fight.

AI heuristics can identify threats more quickly but often produce false positives. If you're unsure, you should double-check it with a different software

As you can see, only 3 out of 72 reports indicate a POTENTIAL threat, and all three were detected by AI. If you see a report like this, it's almost always a false positive.

Thanks for the info! Will report it next time to Norton as false positive.
