There's not really anything I can do about false positives in anti virus tools.

I can't read any of the text in the screen shots, so if there's important information in them maybe someone could translate.

Recently at work, I saw recent version of Clink be blocked by antivirus, Symantec again (Symantec Endpoint Protection aka SEP).
It was because of their reputation scanner : https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/symantec-security-software/endpoint-security-and-management/endpoint-protection/all/Glossary/file-reputation-v32546090-d49e18645.html

We get this kind of alert :

Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Security Risk Found!
Security risk detected: WS.Reputation.1

This can be fixed by filling the false positive Symantec form :
https://symsubmit.symantec.com/
https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/178170/submit-false-positives-detected-by-endpo.html

I already did that for proxy software, after few days, it was fine : genotrance/px#62

Better wait there are less releases to submit to any antivirus company that reject clink the latest stable binary.

If this "flagging" starts to happen more often with Symantec and other snakeoil "AV suites", then it'll be a never ending struggle, new binaries after new binaries. It all sounds almost like a shakedown scheme.
