Explanation: Most anti-virus programs don't like compiled programming languages, and I guess rust especially so since it often compiles multiple executables and executes them to create the actual app executable. On normal user systems, which anti-virus software primarily targets, this is a big no-no.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Go to Github releases of this repo.
  2. Download either the .exe or the .msi executable binary.

The current behavior

Windows Defender shows up when executing the program, and sometimes completely removes it.

The expected behavior

Should run the program normally without being bullied by Window Defender.
