Description

The issue tracker is for reporting product deficiencies. How do I questions should be posted to the discussion forum at https://groups.google.com/group/got-your-back. When in doubt, start at the discussion forum and return here only when instructed to do so.

Please confirm the following:
* I have upgraded to the latest GYB release from https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/releases and I still have this issue.
* I am typing the command as described in the GAM Wiki at https://github.com/jay0lee/got-your-back/wiki

Full steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Insure that at working antivirus app is active on your windows (eg bitdefender)
2. Run the installation of either of the 2 windows installers (got-your-back-1.80)
3. The antivirus app detects and blocks a virus that gets downloaded while gyb starts initializing. This repeats indefinitely until you end the setup.

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?):
To get gyb installed

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):
The gyb.exe program for windows (both) has been infected with a virus and the app does not install (blocked by bitdefender)

Research direction

The report concerns both Windows installers for got-your-back-1.80 and the gyb.exe startup path; begin by reproducing the issue with Bitdefender active and identifying the downloaded artifact it blocks. Done means the Windows installer and gyb.exe no longer trigger the reported detection; the issue names no source file or test.
