Description

When I try to download the version 1.95 Windows installer MSI, from https://github.com/GAM-team/got-your-back/releases, it is blocked by Windows Defender as a virus (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3AWin32%2FMalgent!MSR&threatid=2147742994).

Is there currently a way to install GYB without concern that it has been hacked?
