Windows defender reports a trojan

Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml Threat: Severe

VirusTotal also reports a trojan

Windows Defender sometimes seems to flag our executables for this and I found some Reddit threads talking about these issues with generated .exe files like https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/18xe4n4/wacatacbml_trojan_on_my_own_exe_file/. This particular trojan is classified through Machine Learning and is apparently prone to false positives.

It sounds like we'd could potentially report the issue to Microsoft and submit the executable to them for malware analysis.

VirusTotal seems to flag some things like our usage of Google Analytics, Discord link, etc. These are all just standard parts of the web version of the site, as it's developed for web first and the executable is just compiled from it.
