We take it very seriously, but there isn't a whole lot we can do unfortunately. Apart from reporting false positives the only venue we could pursue is applying obfuscation practices used by actual viruses. This of course has its own slew of issues.

Yep, I mean, if the virus defence community took the same blanket, lazy approach with C and C++ compilers because viruses can be written in those, too (shock horror!) they'd be shutdown by some big players very fast.

Are Nim Windows binaries signed with Authenticode?

If not, it's possible to get reasonably priced code signing certificates.
