Running the .exe tells the program is a virus. Had to disable firewall to run it.

Expected Behavior

Program is not mistaken for a virus.

Current Behavior

Program is mistaken for a virus

Possible Solution

Encode the whole code in base64 (cf https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64788656/exe-file-made-with-pyinstaller-being-reported-as-a-virus-threat-by-windows-defen)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download the .exe
  2. Run the .exe

Context (Environment)

OS: Windows 11

Tried Option 1 and Option 2 of the stackoverflow link. None of them worked as they didn't pass the scan.

A new way to build is recommended. Thinking about it.

No support for Windows planned anymore.
