v0.0.6 seems fine

V0.0.7 included a couple of dependency updates, but I was unable to find anything suspicious.

Did you build from scratch?

As far as I can tell it seems like a common-ish occurrence on Windows?

I downloaded released files to avoid having to build, and that was blocked.

But when testing with a different project the local exe was fine, but the same one zipped from CI got flagged on download with exactly the same virus signature

Maybe indeed try to submit the file as the link suggests (and virustotal.com?)? https://www.microsoft.com/wdsi/filesubmission

Otherwise not sure what to do with such issues
