[ About VIRUS warning ] Integrate SignTool for Windows into CI/CD workflow

[kcalbxof]

Lately there is a number of false positives of Windows Defender triggering on proxy and its libraries.

This is caused by Windows Defender and other AV software thinking that Noita Proxy is similar to how some Trojans deploy themselves, due to auto-update feature. But in reality Noita Proxy should be safe if downloaded from this github repo and DOES NOT CONTAIN a virus. If you capable, still check code for yourself and never trust any software that you run, even if it is opensource. Always check any software you downloaded with at least some sort of AV, such as VirusTotal.

HOW TO AVOID THAT - add Noita Proxy to whitelist. Microsoft Support page that explains how to do it.

Currently cheapest option to sign a exe as i can understand is Asure Trusted Signing which is 10 bucks a month for 5000 signages.

Also possible to publish proxy in microsoft store for 19 bucks, which should avoid buying and managing cert. You should only pass all store checks

There is a list of emails which could be used to unflag as malware.
Also virustotal scan of fresh download of proxy
