It's because it has an toggle option that reads the registry and changes it that requires admin privileges. You can open the file in a text editor yourself and see what it does. There's no obfuscation that hides anything that it's doing. Throw it into an AI and ask it if it has any questionable code.

Edit: I looked at your link further because I was curious. So this is what set it off.

"powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((Get-Content 'C:\Users\Bruno\AppData\Local\Temp\hkjtt4aq.bja\TimerBenchmarkTool.bat') -join \"`n\")"

Shows 2 high alerts of this command. All of the alerts point to this command honestly, even the low ones.

This is because my script is a hybrid batch/powershell script. Windows normally restricts powershell scripts from running on the desktop. You usually have to run them from a terminal. So it needs to open up as a batch file first, then read itself. That's what that command does. Batch files are very limited it what it can do, so powershell is needed.

And the detection mechanism is "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml" which is a machine learning heuristics. Which has a high incidence of false positives.

And I also noticed that a lot of the things it lists as being "detected" is not anything my script even does. It looks like it's logging it's own detection mechanisms and quarantining procedures as something "my" script is doing. But my script doesn't do half the stuff that it says it does. For example, it's logging network related stuff. My script doesn't do anything touching network stuff. And my script doesn't run from the temp directory, It runs from where you save it at. Their quarantining is putting it in their temp directory.

Here are some of my readings with the tool.
Context on my setup.

5900x, rtx 2060, 2x16gb corsair vengence 3200, pcie 4 1tb nvme, 1000hz gpro 1st gen wireless mouse, wifi @ 160mhz, 144hz monitor with gsync + vsync on with avg frame time of 7.5ms, always using fullscreen borderless.

When I play, I always have a lot of things open. I even have the moving wallpaper thing too. I also use spacedesk which is a driver that lets you have a second wireless monitor open with a second device like your phone, ipad or laptop. That's also on. Browsers always open. The only thing that hurts latency when it's on is onedrive, so I always close that before playing. The wallpaper app does too but it's not too bad, so i leave it on. Oh yeah, I even have a jellyfin server running as well in. You can see it in the picture.

And these are the readings I get. First image is when i have most things closed, not "everything" but most. Second is when I'm gaming, it'll fluctuate between 75-85 percent for my peak average. Last image is when I'm watching videos while i'm gaming.

I experience no input latency at all. Without setting timer resolution to 0.500, it would honestly feel like crap, I can't ever go back to gaming at 1ms timer resolution.
