Installer + fewer antivirus false positives.

Changed

  • NullSync now ships as a small installer instead of a single loose .exe. It installs per-user (no admin needed) and adds a Start menu shortcut. This packaging trips far fewer antivirus false positives than the previous single-file build.
  • The anonymous install count is now sent only after the app has been open for a while, rather than right at launch. Short sessions never send anything. It stays anonymous and is still tied to the "check for updates on startup" toggle.

Added

  • An ANTIVIRUS page explaining why compiled apps sometimes get flagged, how to confirm it is a false positive on VirusTotal, and how to allow it.

If your antivirus or SmartScreen warns about the installer, that is a known false positive for unsigned compiled apps, not a real detection. See ANTIVIRUS.md in the repo for the full explanation and how to verify it yourself.

On the antivirus warnings: NullSync is free and made to help people, so I am not going to pay for a yearly code-signing certificate just to quiet them. It is unsigned because signing costs money, not because anything is wrong with it. If you want to check it yourself, see ANTIVIRUS.md in the repo.
