So a couple of months ago, windows defender started flagging some jackett files as trojan, it's still flagging it for me. Devs told everyone to just ignore it. Do we have a consensus about it?

Seems to only affect windows and is a false positive which seems reasonable

I didnt even know they built it for windows

All the responses in that and other github issues that are saying it's a false positive are from the developers of the project. I was wondering if someone else with expertise verified it.

On VirusTotal only 2/67 Antivirus vendors flag it as anything

That's the usual sign of a false positive, a real malware/virus issue would show up in pretty much all the main scans.

EDIT: Here's another scan, 0 antivirus vendors flagged in this one - Jotti is a much smaller site but you get the idea

The *arrs are (or were, at least - Jackett is part of that family) dependent on Microsoft's .NET framework. I clearly remember having to set up Mono to get Sonarr running in a Debian VM some years ago...
