Yeah, I had this problem when shipping go binaries on Windows. Antivirus vendors really do not care that your program regularly shows up as a false positive due to their crappy heuristics, even if you have millions of users.

It's a common enough issue with go that they wrote a faq on it too: https://go.dev/doc/faq#virus

Have you tried code-signing with an EV certificate? If so, did it help? Asking for a friend.

Statistically notable improvement, but it didn't help a whole lot.

I always upload a copy to https://www.virustotal.com to help combat the false positives.

It was really bad a couple years ago because anything wrapped in Inno Setup kept being flagged. Now maybe one or two flag vendors do; Bkav Pro and CrowdStrike Falcon are the dominate culprits always.

Uploading to virustotal doesn't really do anything to combat false positives AFAICT. It only lets you test against many AV vendors at once.
