Windows defender flags as virus #2

Windows defender won't let me use the app, says it's some virus, sadly I can't compile it myself

Thanks for reporting this. Seems to be an issue with the installer being flagged. Will send the original installer to microsoft for removal of the false positive.

In the meantime I have removed the binary file and uploaded a ZIP containing a portable version of the tool. Simply extract somewhere and run the executable (https://github.com/nefares/Background-Muter/releases/download/v1.0.0.1/WinBGMuter.zip)

Let me know if you still have an issue with the new file.
