Yes, our compiler is Windows only and generates native machine code for Intel x86 architecture. It looks and feels the same on any Windows version from XP to 10.

The false positives that some virus programs return are typically due to the fact that our executable is different that what they expect. Specifically, it doesn't have all the unnecessary crap that typical compilers churn out -- only what's essential, and nothing more. Some programs also object to files with no extension (like .txt or .src). We left these off since they're not very English-like.
