Description

Just had this happen today; been using lazygit on Windows without issues. Could be a false positive (I don't know enough to know)

lazygit version:
```
❯ lg --version
commit=d167063b4f45d044524f3fba97f850d1eec3f95c, build date=2026-04-13T20:06:40Z, build source=binaryRelease, version=0.61.1, os=windows, arch=amd64, git version=2.50.1.windows.1
```

Bitdefender doesn't seem to give me any details, unfortunately. Just shows this

I haven't had this happen before, though I mostly use lazygit on Linux.
