Hi and welcome to the forum (although I guess the message looks more like a 
bye-bye 😥)!

Unfortunately this is a known issue that presents occasionally and where we 
have struggled to find a solution. I do not think we were able to ever get in 
contact with anti malware software, the most decisive action that it was taken 
was to set up a virus checker which checks nim compiler and uploads binary to 
virus total, see annoucement: <https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9358> and repo: 
<https://github.com/nim-lang/virus_checker>

that is a partial solution and also it only takes into account compiler 
executables. in the repo above is linked a list to contact vendors 
(<https://github.com/yaronelh/False-Positive-Center>) but I do not see [the one 
you mention](https://www.vmware.com/it/products/carbon-black-cloud.html).

I guess one option is to see if there is a way to whitelist or exclude your 
executable in your specific anti virus software. One possible helpful thread 
that I could find was this: 
<https://community.carbonblack.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/EDR-Create-Windows-Exclusions/ta-p/111788>

some previous threads:

    * there is a link to a specific case where flagging was linked to a 
specific feature, later removed: <https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/9744#64108>

it seems one option that was mentioned and not tested yet was to try and write 
a blogpost to attract a bit of attention and possibly establish a communication 
channel. I guess this is still something that we could try. The option to try 
and contact vendor directly I guess is also an option, although there seems to 
be quite a few... Anyway I think people should keep reporting these kind of 
issues, so thanks for caring enough to do that!
