There isn't a virus, chunky has recently been flagged as a false positive by some antiviruses (apparently due to the trim feature). We're working on getting these false positives removed, but until then, you can safely ignore that warning.

Will leave this up as a PSA until this is resolved since I'm sure others will have the same question.

As an update, it looks like false positives have been removed for some versions of chunky, although other versions remain affected. Still working on getting those fixed up.

Most antiviruses appear to have updated and removed the false positive for chunky. The remaining ones are likely to clear within a few days. I'll close this later in the week if I don't see any other reports.

Closing as this appears fully resolved.

Yeah that one seems to be taking longer to clear the false positive. I may take another look but I didn't see any obvious contact form like with BitDefender (and every other antivirus updated after BitDefender updated their checks).

Regardless, just note that this is indeed a false positive and nothing to need to worry about.
