-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
With each new release, some users are complaining that their Windows
antivirus is detecting Tor Browser as a virus. A theory is that the
antivirus is blocking programs that they have not seen before until they
are a few days old.
To avoid this problem (or at least try to limit the duration of the
problem), we could upload the Windows bundles to virustotal.com as soon as
we have a build ready, so that the antivirus have seen them a few
days/hours before the release.
In the past we had something as part of the testsuite uploading the
bundles to virustotal, but it is currently broken and needs to be fixed. I
think we could add some makefile commands to `tor-browser-build.git` such
as `make upload-unsigned-build-virustotal-release` (with `*-signed-*` and
`*-alpha` variants) to upload a build to virustotal (in addition to having
it done by the testsuite, probably using the same script for both).
