4035	Prevent 32-bit scripts from having way more false positives than 64-bit	lwc		"When using #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compile_both=y the resulting compiled scripts have huge differences in false positives.

First of all, Windows users' default antivirus (known as Windows Security's Virus & threat protection) actively '''quarantines''' 32-bit versions, while not caring at all about 64-bit versions.

Secondly, the different results in virustotal.com are very noticeable:

Script 1
32-bit - 10 false positives
64-bit - 1 false positives

Script 2
32-bit - 6 false positives
64-bit - 0(!) false positives

Script 3
32-bit - 7 false positives
64-bit -1 false positives

In fact, here are results of the most minimal script:


{{{
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compile_both=n
msgbox("""", """", ""Hello World!"")
}}}

32-bit - 12 false positives - see 32-bit scan results at '''shorturl.at/y9hL0''' (linkable links aren't allowed here)
64-bit -1 false positives - see 64-bit scan results at '''shorturl.at/guIpz''' (linkable links aren't allowed here)

I tend to release apps as both 64-bit and 32-bit, since even nowadays it still seems common practice. But the 32-bit versions have been becoming quite a burden due to it.

Is there something in the compiler that can be improved for 32-bit versions?"	Bug	closed		Aut2Exe	3.3.16.1	None	No Bug	false-positives, malware, threats
