Windows Defender treat Tunic as Trojan:Win32/Fuery.B!cl

This is a false positive. There's only so much I can do about this. Tunic installs a bootloader which can look suspicious to AV.

See also #7.

I have covered this in the FAQ and security.md but I suppose I need to specifically warn about this in the Getting Started section.

I'll do the following:

• In "Getting Started", I'll describe what can be done if AV falsely detects as malware.
• In security.md, I'll go into more detail on how to audit tunic.exe to show it is not malware, to ease concerns of Tunic users.
• I'll investigage what Furey.B!cl is and see what pattern it's finding in Tunic. This may be hard to do.
• Close this ticket.

I'm currently in the middle of a rewrite (#10) which may magically solve the issue.

I likely will not be able to stop this from ever happening. I can only help users to deal with it.

I didn't meant to close.

By adding certificates and valid publisher information to each release helps to correct this issue I wonder? Windows SmartScreen warns me about this as well.

[mikeslattery]

Yeah, you're right. I'll look into Certum's certs, discounted for open source projects.

[mikeslattery]

The OSS discounted Certum cert is $154 for the first year and $40/year after that. Also, it's missing some features so I'm not 100% sure it would solve this problem. Still by far the cheapest cert.
