My cracked Adobe suites/Android apps/etc also come back without flags 99% of the time, 1-2 obviously false flags the rest. So while there are occasionally false flags, I'd rather be on the cautious side as this program does not have just 1 or 2 minor flags, but many - along with ones that are common in shitty bots (ie. Crypto Miner lol). Having this many flags is not accidental, but you will of course get gullible customers who do not care either way.
By the way, vouches mean nothing other than people have bought your products. It does not ensure the safety of your products in any way, as most people do not run scans before they use programs. Half the bots in this forum are sold by resellers with lots of vouches, but are in fact loaded with malicious files. It's funny that you use that to explain yourself rather than dive into specifics of each flag and how they are a mistake.

I have explained myself. I use commercial tools to protect my "simple pixel bot" (which is probably more complex thank you think, but how would you know?). Unfortunately such tools are usually used also by malware for obfuscation, this is why it gets flagged.
VirusTotal is just an interface to many antivirus engines. As you surely know as a malware expert, Antivirus detection is based on signature, i.e., they look for "specific sequences of bytes or patterns" into the file. Unfortunately, either the crypter or some instruction sequence I use in my program add similar bytes into the executable.
I can share with you the source code of the Launcher. Try building it. You will find out that some antiviruses will flag it right away. And you know why? Because it changes permissions of a file making it unaccessible... This is what your great VirusTotal detects
I really have no problem sharing it with you, you can contact me on Discord.
As I said, you should have come to me before throwing shit at my work, but probably wasn't in your interest.
Cheers.

Edit:
You said you use cracks. Crack developers are MUCH better than me at obfuscating stuff, it's much more probable that they put malware inside their files without being detected. I would ask myself how comes cracks are free and what crack devs have to earn... Avoid that shit
And vouches mean a lot. I have returning customers from bots I released months ago and no one ever complained. But probably the malware in my bots is dormant and one day will wake up to accomplish my plan of conquering the world, who knows
