   I'm not saying there's something wrong with my brain, but I just needed to mock up a UI for a demonstration, and my first thought was "boot my winXP vm and use visual basic 6"

     I don't have the stock icons installed?

     what kind of weirdo installs Visual Studio 6 without including all the icons and bmps?!

     @foone this feels more telling of the state of current solutions for this sort of thing than it does about your brain, tbh

     I'm not even sure what antivirus I should use on XP anymore.

     okay I just ran malwarebyteslegacy and it flagged two exes as dangerous:

     both are ones I compiled.

     So either their ML engine is broked, or my compiler is trojaned.

     @cxberger yeah I once uploaded the entire base64 encoded Doom shareware floppies as my custom pronouns on a work gender survey. no virus, though

     @indigoparadox me either! it's not like I go online with it.

     but maybe I picked up a virus from some warez copy of VB6? I'll have to make a new VM and install off legit discs

     @n1vux the problem is that this program does literally nothing. I have written no code. It's literally a dead GUI display, with nothing backing it

     @foone using privileged operations mostly only used by OS utilities for good purposes could get flagged as a false positive?

     I should compile a hello world C program, see if it gets flagged, and if so, then shove it into ghidra.

     fellas, is it normal to compile hello world and then reverse engineer it just to see what your runtime is doing?

     yeah I think my compiler is fine. these are just false positives

     @indigoparadox the thing is, these programs should do none of those things!

     @foone Your program is doing suspicious activity like:

     - Opening files.
     - Reading from files.
     - (!!!) Writing to file.
     - Using shared memory.
     - (!!!) Using the network.
     - (!!!!!!!!!) Using the Registry.

     @ppxl yeah. New, open, save, save as, exit. Usual file menu stuff.

     @foone I like the main menu though.

     - File
     - Pronouns
     - Help

     Like the higher-powers-to-be™ intended.

     What would file do though? Save and reload if pronouns went wrong?

     @foone This could be the default pronouns selection UI browsers would use once there will be a standard pronouns input field in HTML.

     @ghostoverflow256 I'm going to be remaking it soon, and I'll open source that one. This one is sadly too virusy
