with v0.88.0, I've tried to publish to winget again. Hopefully by not including Everythings's dll among other changes, the installer will be less likely to trigger AV FP.
If this version still does not pass AV checks from winget, it'll really be the last attempt.

EPT3 is not published on any of the package managers yet, it's considered experimental, so I'd like more people to test it before I make it more widely available. If you're feeling adventurous, and is using Everything 1.5a, I recommend that you try EPT3 (asset tagged with SDK3)

it now seems to pass the security check on winget automations, will continue to publish to winget.

my windows defender recognized this as trojan. Is this false positive?

[lin-ycv]

it's FP, the exe installer for basically every single version has been triggering AV FP's.
There's not much I can do about it. If you don't trust it, use the zip file instead.
