Running the application normally is all fine, however when the option to start with Windows is toggled on, Windows Defender detects it as the following:

For some reason compiling to AnyCPU and x86 triggers a couple of false positives. x64, however, does not do this.

VirusTotal:

I've compiled a x64 version of the application which you can download if you'd like from this link: TaskbarTool 1.0.8.0 x64.zip. It should work just the same on x64 versions of Windows.
