thanks for the report. based on Hybrid Analysis's report it looks like it's just one of 24 (Cylance) that's reporting it malicious. the CrowdStrike Falcon (lol) sandbox shows nothing. it doesn't look like we ever got code signing set up properly on Windows, though it's in the works and we plan to have Windows signing set up by release 1.0, we've seen it as less important during alpha.
