Description: I installed SimpleWall version 3.8.3 and did not encounter any issues for a week. However, today I noticed that the setup file for SimpleWall 3.8.3 (simplewall-3.8.3-setup.exe) is being flagged multiple times as a threat by my antivirus software.

Steps to Reproduce:

Download the SimpleWall 3.8.3 setup file from the official source.
Attempt to run the setup file.
Observe the antivirus software detecting it as a threat.

Expected Behavior: The setup file should run without being flagged as a threat.

Actual Behavior: The setup file is detected as a threat by my antivirus software.

Additional Information:

SimpleWall version: 3.8.3 (installed)
Setup file version: 3.8.3
Antivirus software: Windows Defender, Malwarebytes and Virus Total Scan
Operating System: Windows 10 22h2

Request for Assistance: Could you please investigate this issue? Is there a known problem with the 3.8.3 setup file, or could this be a false positive from my antivirus software? Capture Capture2

Thank you!
