I don't know whether this is a real issue or misdetections because of malware use of AutoHotkey, but my anti-virus just deleted all of the executables in tools/StExBar/contrib. I ran the URLs for the Github raw downloads through VirusTotal.com and they all were flagged by ~25% of the engines:

By comparison, the versions from prior to commit 803154d had much lower detections:
