When trying to download the 32-bit Windows 3.0.0 release, Firefox detects it as malicious and prevents the download. It doesn't do this with the 64-bit release, but Microsoft Defender detects ssf.exe as having the Win32/Ymacco.AB19 trojan. I'm assuming this is a false positive, but I just wanted to be sure before using it.

not a false positive, as someone else posted here, VT identifies it as a "Hacker Program" and it looks like it is specifically flagged for exactly that reason. I suggest you research "why" it was flagged and "how" to obfuscate the code before building.
