Windows 10 thinks my QB64 programs are a virus

[bert22306]

I'm actually still running QB64 1.2 (been using this version for years now)
Still trying to figure how to get Windows Defender to ignore QB64 EXEs.

I take it you are using Defender antivirus. I've never had any issues running QB64, from way back in versions 0.9xx, over Windows 7, 10, and 11, maybe because the qb64 (or qb64pe) and all my .exe files are in either of two places:

c:\users\(my userid)\documents\myprograms\qb64

or

c:\myprograms\qb64.

Neither Defender nor McAfee Enterprise seem to be bothered by this.
