Relevant question, When programming did you get the P values correct?

Yes I do and no it couldn’t, because I don’t install your crap programmes on my computer.

It's not just my programs. ClamAV once incorrectly labeled MatLab for Linux as malware, causing me to lose hours of work.

As you've already been told, this isn't a thing for most people, for the great majority of people. It might be your computer 'skills' that are the problem.

Has the OP considered that they might be malware?

My friend, if computer skills of somebody who has a Bachelor degree in computer engineering aren't enough, I am afraid no computer skills are enough.

Well, I trust MathWorks (the company behind MatLab) not to include malware in their software.
Furthermore, ClamAV is well-known for having many false positives.
That's why there are commercial anti-virus softwares for Linux: because they have fewer false positives than ClamAV. Don't take my word for it, see how Avast advertizes its antivirus software to Linux users on its website.

A degree indicates credentialing, not skill.
