Installer is getting flagged as potentially risky software #271

Closed Thenewchicken55 closed 4 months ago

Thenewchicken55 commented 4 months ago

Edge and Windows flag the installer as if it's malware saying "couldn't verify the source...make sure you trust the source..." I know you can bypass this, but it's just slightly suspicious that this happens. Maybe because there isn't a publisher. Not sure. Makes me (and others like me) second guess trusting this software lol even though I know it's probably safe. image image

I honestly don't know how to solve something like that There is nothing suspicious or malicious in the program, you can look at the source code According to github, there have been 243,000 downloads of the program so far

I understand. I don't actually believe it's malicious. But I think it has to do with the part saying "Publisher: Unknown" that's making it think it's risky. I'm not sure how to solve it either, just thought I should let you know. Feel free to close this issue.

P.S. Thank you for this repo by the way. It's an amazing tool. Someday I'll try to make time to help out with development.
