Description

v56.1 uses VS2015 to build the subprocess executable and there are a few false positives reported on virustotal.com:

v31.2 was built with VS2008 and virustotal detectedion ratio is 0/61:

Using VS2008 should fix the problem, however since VS2015 is much newer compiler it might have better performance. The /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag used when building subprocess is supported also in VS 2008.
