Hey so every time I download this my antivirus flags it as suspicious and moves it to quarantine, I also ran it with virustotal and it had one red flag. I currently don't have a way to run it without disabling my AV which I don't want to do and it's just weird cause the last version I used, v5.3, did not have this issue with my AV. For some reason it thinks it's a trojan.

I'm not accusing the dev of using malware I just was hoping I could be enlightened on why this is happening and if there's anything that can be done to prevent it?

If it helps, I'm using Eset Security

Unfortunately, I never use antivirus software, and I even removed Windows Defender. Please build it yourself. Just fork it and run the GitHub action.
