hi, this looks really cool, but i'm getting a virus threat on the link on your website for the installer.

Virus checkers put higher probability on executables they don't know, so generate a lot of false positives on ProcrastiTracker.

ProcrastiTracker also has a keyboard & mouse hook (to know when you're active, and the count keystrokes/clicks), and hooks are also typically used by malware, further making them nervous :)

Nothing much I can do about any of this.

You can now also download from github CI: http://strlen.com/procrastitracker/
That may reduce virus warnings for some..
