Windows defenders reports a malware when trying to download the master branch. Now I will be forced to format my company laptop. Great! P.S: The reported virus is Trojan:Win32/Sprinsky.

Probably a false-positive: https://virustotal.com/en/file/504f86c07384b93800120b182a81e...

Webroot Heuristic goes riot on the Resurrectio_LICENSE.GPL file in the chrome plugin. Only file that is "infected". (See File Details on Virustotal)

Without it: https://virustotal.com/en/file/44f9ffa063cf3f2e23dfedef81150...

But of course: no warranty.

EDIT: It's also probably Win32/Sprisky instead of SpriNsky. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=win32+sprisky&t=hb&ia=web

Looks more and more like a false positive, happened also with the/a GnuPG Installer for Windows: http://gnupg.10057.n7.nabble.com/Trojan-detected-in-Windows-...

Looks cool, well done. I toyed with the idea of building something similar as a product a few months ago. I think there's an opportunity for a service that allow users to create their own integrations for services that are too niche for Alexa/Siri etc to bother with, but would still benefit from automation. Example might be booking local tennis courts, seeing what specials are on at local restaurant, etc.

Some other ideas-

- Save macros retroactively. i.e, Extension records all the time, user selects previous n steps from 'action history' view.

- Paid service for running macros in cloud on schedule, receive reports, notifications, etc.

- Invoke macros from Alexa, FB bot, etc

- With above, can interactively ask for instruction if it encounters an error (button not found, etc).

Recently i have started working with NightmareJs to scrape few sites. There also you have to mention the flow as in click here , grab this data n all. Wondering how is it different from that . Also can we use it to scrape data from a site and save to database?

Is the snake oil srsly attacking a GPL-License File?

That has so much potential for jokes... ^^
