Although I believe this software (dpScreenOCR-1.1.0-win32-2.exe) is fully safe, virustotal is giving 2 false positives (Avast and AVG).

I mean, probably part of your users will not install the program because of this. Maybe you want to track the reason and kill these false positives. This guy documented his process: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/oct/05/dealing-with-...

Oh, thank you. I tried the ZIP on VirusTotal, and it looks like the false positives are triggered for Qt platform plugins, namely qwindowsvistastyle.dll qwindows.dll:

I'll try to figure out what to do about that.
