Some antiviruses block him...
Great part of .exe is packed...
In github there is not sources, but only release...
It is very strange...

It doesn't have a virus. It's a python program compiled into an executable. Unless it's done the right way it will
cause virus alerts. Try my version - repacked with a packer that 99% of antivirus programs don't have issues with.

Hi Damar,

I don't have the python src code. I just re-packed the author's executable.
