GUI Update – 2025.06.26
• We have released an updated version of the GUI on June 26, 2025.
• To address the issue where the application was frequently flagged as a virus by some antivirus software, this version introduces code signing to improve trust and reduce false positives.
• If your antivirus software still mistakenly identifies the application as a threat, please manually add the file to the whitelist in Windows 10/11. Instructions can be found in the Microsoft Support page under “Virus and Threat Protection in the Windows Security App” → “Exclusions.”
