VirusTotal says my app is doing a portsweep?
I found out today that VirusTotal (and more specifically, McAfee) says that my app is doing a UDP portsweep? What the heck? Here's the message, and below is what ChatGPT says about it. My question is: Is there some library in PureBasic that can be causing this? Because my app sure as hell isn't doing any port scanning or port sweep at all.

Just ignore it. It surely is some heuristic bullshit.
The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

No PB lib do that.

McAfee is as paranoid as it's origonal creator after a few to many lines of code (coke). The rule says it all, snort

I don't have it installed. This was from a VirusTotal.com result.
Good to know.
