After downloading the index.html file from Github via its web interface, MS Defender marks this as a virus Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml on Windows 10. I cannot see anything wrong with it, so it is probably not a real issue with the file itself. I cannot see any easy way to report this as a false alarm either.

Thanks for pointing this out (and thanks for the code audit/review). I'll take a look at this soonish if there's something that can be done.

I'd guess there can't be any urgent security issues with the code per se (it's doing very simple things without weird dependencies, and I wrote it from scratch), but OTOH I can see how MS Defender can see a lot wrong with it :)
