Hey! 🙂 No worries – my app does not contain a real trojan. The warning shows up because the EXE file is not digitally signed.
To get a valid signature, you need to buy expensive security certificates, which is not always feasible for small developers.

The app was built using PyInstaller – some antivirus programs automatically flag such files as suspicious, even if the code is clean (a so-called false positive).
If you trust me, you can add the app to your antivirus exceptions. Alternatively, feel free to scan it on www.virustotal.com. 😉
