You are not alone, e.g.: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/hearthstone/topic/20752237958 There's not much that can be done on the Qt side. Some ideas that could help: 1. Add a prominent notice to your website to alert users about this known issue and encourage them to update their virus definitions, so that they don't get a nasty surprise 2. Keep submitting false positives, and encourage your users to do the same 3. Before publishing a release, test run your software on your own Windows 10 machine with Defender, to see if it complains > Defender says: > > Trojan:win32/Detplock > > The following error occurred: Error code 0x80508023.
