Showing up with trojan horse

[Nicksone]

Hey there,

I've been using Smarthunter for a short while now and after the last update, the smarthunter.exe gets detected as a Trojan Horse by Bullguard Antivirus and gets put away in quarantaine without me being able to do anything about it.

Maybe it detects it as a virus because SmartHunter uses the SetWindowsHookEx function in https://github.com/r00telement/SmartHunter/blob/master/SmartHunter/Core/WindowsApi.cs#L248. This function is usually used in things like key loggers, because it allows you to receive the key input when your window is not in foreground. You could even hide it and it can process what you are typing. Smarthunter uses it to track the F1 and left alt key, as you can see in https://github.com/r00telement/SmartHunter/blob/master/SmartHunter/Game/Config/MainConfig.cs#L22. And since while playing the MHW window is in foreground, it's the only way to receive keyboard inputs.

Sadly, this might not fix your problem, but only provides a possible explanation for it.
