Hey,

I really love the idea of this program and I am glad that I found it, as I always was interested in reading variables of other processes and this even allows manipulation.

But, my cousin insisted that I did a virus scan first and Malwarebytes alerted me of the PUP Opencandy. On virus total 4 others found it as well. I mean I understand, you have to make money somehow, but on a .org? Or is it just to scare off the people who have bad intentions and make the clever guys have to compile from source?

Thanks.

PS: Even on Web of Trust it is green...

PUP stands for "Potentially unwanted program"
Not a virus.

I don't hide it's in there. It's clearly stated in the download page, FAQ, eula, advertisement screen that it shows itself.
