Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/afkarxyz/SpotiFLAC/issues/4

From the previous version of 2.3, it was working fine. When updating and using the 2.4 version of the app, Windows Defender / Security detects it as a virus / trojan and removes it completely.

That is a false positive. Windows Defender often misdetects certain code. Please downgrade to the previous version or run the code manually or build it yourself

I have scanned it:

VirusTotal .exe
VirusTotal .py
HybridAnalysis

It should be a false positive.

Sorry I'm new to all of this, I don't know how to run the code myself or build it myself but I did somehow get it to work after fighting with Windows Defender for a bit
