I was trying to use AO3_Scraper but while attempting to extract the files Windows Security alerted me about a virus -

Are you aware of this problem?

Thanks for letting me know. It appears that this is a false positive, which is quite common for compiled Python executables.

I'll submit the file for a review to address the "incorrectly detected as malware/malicious" issue and try using a different build process to see if that resolves the problem.

I've received feedback from Microsoft Security, and it appears that the executable in question has been cleared of any malware or potentially unwanted application detection.

I've switched to a different build process and updated the release, which should resolve the issue.
