NSL on Windows is flagged as virus/trojan by 27/71 engines/dbs on VirusTotal

[GlassedSilver]

I've been happily using NSL for my Steam Deck for a while now and today figured I might as well add it on my Windows setups as well, but Virus Total alerted me to 27 triggered AV tools for the Windows release. (both current and second-latest, didn't test more than that afterwards)

I'm used to tools getting 2-3 false positives, maybe even a little more if semi-good heuristics detect suspicious ways to integrate into other apps etc, but 27 is a lot.

Could the app be reworking some strategies on Windows to trigger AVs less maybe, because 27/71 is a bad look and even if everything is fine with the code as it is, a repo that instructs users to trust that the alerts are false is inviting bad actors to take advantage of users lowering their guard.

@GlassedSilver LOL that's alot. Yeah I'll try to make all of that go away. It was either that or just use a raw .bat file. I don't really know how to make one that good haha 😅
