Please publish to winget store as well, because PS already nags me to upgrade, but winget says everything's up to date...

[infinitepower18]

It's already on the winget repo, but the winget cli still shows the older version. Probably winget is messed up right now.

Some of the installer packages are being flagged by antivirus. For example, Google's Advanced Protection is blocking the MSI downloads in Google Chrome. Virus Total is also listing one AV engine that is flagging the Windows x64 MSI as a trojan.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7445f2f711759fe7167fae2329911f9800d087265d1ba720a8801ff775ac1b31?nocache=1

Can you verify that the latest build has not been tampered with? Are these detections benign?

[m0xsec]

I spotted checked some of the other files, they are also being flagged as malicious. Hashes appear to match what is listed in the release information.
