Hello; current release is marked as insecure by both Windows defender and one vendor in VirusTotal

Hey, thanks for reporting. I've had one other user report this to me as well. This appears to come up as a false-positive in some virus scanners because the code is unsigned.

I'm currently working on obtaining a Code Signing Certificate, which should prevent this flag from being raised. But this process takes some time, and I'm still going back and forth with a certificate provider. As soon as I have it, I'll publish an updated signed version of the app.

Hey Man didn't want to make a new thread yet, but will if you want. Would it be easy to add a automated restart function? Currently there is a bug that prevents you from removing some buildings until a restart happens. I was thinking an automated restart would be good to prevent that from happening as much.

@Venthe I just uploaded pre-release v2.1.0-rc.1 which you can download here. This version is signed with a Code Signing Certificate, although it still triggers 1 failure in VirusTotal (report here).

Could you try downloading it and let me know if it trips Chrome or Windows Defender's virus scanner?

@Montusker Go ahead and create another thread for that and we can figure out the details there.
