After downloading the latest version through the updater, it is flagged as a trojan.

If it's Windows Defender, it might be seeing the update routine as some crude self modifying code?? Not really sure why a few people are having the issue.

If you read the update code, it downloads the new executable from github to a temporary location, creates a batch script file then executes it. The batch file deletes the old executable then runs the new one.

If you like you can compile yourself with source code or just re-download the version you want and install it over your old version. Everything works okay that way.
