Latest update is being flagged by antivirus

[Sam Tran]

Hey, I love this program and have been using it for years!
I got a notification there was an update today, but when I tried to update, it got flagged as "threat level high" by company's AV...not sure why as I remember the last update not giving me any problems.

Hello! Thank you for the update of WinLaunch to version 0.5.4. Unfortunately, I cannot perform the update (Windows 10, Avast virus scanner) because Avast found a malware threat in update.exe. Also virustotal.com reports a problem with this file eight times (as of 2022-01-27 05:11:57 UTC). I hope that it is just a false positive, but maybe something can be changed in the source code and recompiled. Thanks.

Can or will you be doing another build soon? I tried the Setup.exe again and it's still blocked by AV.
I don't think I can talk our I/T into allowing it even if it is a false positive.

I tried downloading the zip file and Chrome blocked it as harmful too!

One additional thing, if you do do another build, could you make the update check optional? Since I literally cannot upgrade to 0.5.4, I keep getting the "Update available" nag screen.

I see there's some talk from others about making this open source. I'd be willing to contribute too if you decide to go open source!

Thanks!

Should be fixed now, please let me know if you still get false positives.
