Virus detected in github head! Windows Defender Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml #308

Hi team,

It seems like a virus is present in the automerge-repo! When downloading the repo as zip, chrome immediately blocks the files and Windows defender reports a Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml in the repo's head..

I downloaded the zip file from main as well as the latest release, and no there was no virus included in any of that content that I downloaded directly from GitHub. Did you download through another site or mechanism?

Hm strange! Yes directly from Github, I am using windows 11 / latest chrome.

I suspect there's something awry with your local environment...

I am using Windows 11 and latest Chrome and I do not see this. Maybe you have some security policy or scanner set by the IT dep.?
