Foreman mistakenly considered a virus by McAfee #22

After installing remodel, McAfee apparently warned me that foreman's executable was a virus. I installed foreman via cargo.

I think this is incorrect as there's no trace of malicious code in foreman...

I'm not sure there's anything we can do about McAfee detecting something like Foreman as a virus. We could try to submit it as a false-positive. I would also recommend dropping McAfee in favor of the built-in Windows Defender.

To be fair to antivirus software, the point of Foreman is to download more executables from the internet and run them. That's pretty sketchy!
