@srb1mal hello, please make yourself familiar with FAQ

Windows Defender or any other antivirus marks app as malware / virus False positives from Windows Defender (or any other similar system that uses machine learning for detection) is possible as the application is not digitally signed with a certificate. You can always download a version below or compile the app by yourself.

All application sources are open and can be monitored from A to Z. Application is assembled directly on GitHub from this sources using GitHub actions.

As for your remark about Virustotal specifically - it's also all green (for the latest buikd) https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/64bc4a9446705d29571219681966ddf84107600ce4a6770461bc1396c2387604?nocache=1

Hey mate @seerge please check this, I'm not worried about windows defender at all. In viruatotal if we upload the (.exe) then it gives a warning. Please check below.

@srb1mal as I have mentioned above, false positives can happen from any other similar system that uses machine learning for detection. In your case it's 1 (one) vendor from 75. If you don't trust exe - you can compile it from sources, and you will get same exe.
