Description

- [X ] I have fzf 0.30.0 or above
- [X] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/blob/master/README.md
- [X] I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md
- [X] I have read through the manual page of fzf (`man fzf`)
- [X] I have searched through the existing issues

I recently installed FZF on neovim on windows 11 in my work machine and the company McAfee configuration instantly started complaining about FZF and showing it as a virus. I know this is a McAfee issue but I is that something that the FZF devs can see to check why this is being caught as virus by McAfee?

Exact error is:
> Adaptive Threat Protection repaired C:\Users\username\.vim\plugged\fzf\bin\fzf.exe TargetType, because its reputation (Known Malicious) is below the configured Clean threshold.

Other open source projects seem to be resolving it by emailing McAfee and getting their reputations bumped:
