Should add warning messages at Readme.md #12

Last week I used this tool to test my sql servers, and then I got the mail from antivirus system administrators that I used "HackTool" at that time, It would violate the policies for my organization.

I used VirusTotal to scan this project files, some antivirus software said there is HackTool or Trojan.

So I think it should be added some warning messages at Readme.md for users who had antivirus softwares and need to keep the organization security policies.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know PowerUpSQL was getting flagged by AV. Technically it's an auditing tool, not a "HackTool" or "Trojan". However, I guess any software can be a HackTool if you choose to use it maliciously. I'll think about integrating some obfuscation in the next release.

Thanks again!
