Current VirusTotal verdict (Paloalto): generic.ml

Requested verdict: benign

Description: Disk Cleanup Helper 1.1 is a free, open-source (GPL-3.0) disk cleanup tool for Windows 10 and 11 that I develop. It cleans browser caches and temp files only after the user confirms, shows disk health and device details (WMI), and updates itself from its GitHub releases (checked by SHA256). It never reads passwords, cookies or history. It is a .NET Framework 4.8 app, not packed or obfuscated, not code-signed yet; its full source code is public.
Source code: https://github.com/Philip-Droubi/disk-cleanup-helper
Official download: https://github.com/Philip-Droubi/disk-cleanup-helper/releases/tag/v1.1
65 engines on VirusTotal, including Microsoft, report it as clean. Please re-analyze it and change the verdict to benign.

Thank you.
