Describe the bug

Im using this as a remote access to my own pcs/laptop because I trust opensource more than any other software.

the problem is windows keeps seeing it as a virus / trojan / backdoor .... etc, even when I add the file and the folder to exception it keeps on getting caught and stopped by windows security.

I only need the remote access and the reverse shell features, allowing me to maintain many pcs remotely and easily.
I don't need the rest.

Teamviewer works without any issues, how could I remove all the features that makes antivirus go crazy over it ?

any ideas?

maybe a script that could stop the windows security once and for all from interfering with this service specially onstart up? because Im usually miles away from the target computer.

How to reproduce

just make a build , add it to start up , install it in app folder , maybe modify descriptions , but that is it .

Expected behavior

windows security to leave it alone after adding it and the folder which it's in it to the exception.

Actual behavior

windows keeps on stopping it from launching specially on startup

Additional context

No response

There is no way for me to change this behavior of AVs. You need to add the download location of Quasar client to exception list and the install location. That should be fine and works for me as well. Windows Defender doesn't interfere then anymore.

Other than that you could try removing all features which are not necessary for your use case.
