False Positive

It wouldn't shock me if Microsoft tries to "ban" this tool. I haven't seen any other antivirus software flag it... yet. (Actually from a real AV, not what VirusTotal claims)

Hiding the PowerShell popup, and getting admin permissions to run, are seen as malicious. VirusTotal

I've been trying to reduce the number of false detentions since this changed from a batch script to an .exe https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/Remove-MS-Edge/issues/11

Not much has changed from Here to Here, but detection count went from 5 to 37 (Edge-Only)
