I personally think that there should be a warning on the website/app of the project which points out to possible false-positives.

Microsoft Defender may mistakenly identify a file or application as malicious if it attempts to modify system settings, create or delete files in critical directories of the operating system, or alter network configurations. Files or applications can also be incorrectly flagged as malicious if they are used infrequently or are uncommon among users.

@plantindesk You're correct, but see the comment below #392 (comment)

@femdiya That's a nice idea. Additionally, I was considering a complete redesign of the project's user interface. However, I don't think this will be accepted, as I believe they think there is no need for it.

Nevermind actually,
In the website, it is addressed that Windows Defender will block the downloaded script.
