Anti-Virus false positives

Some anti-virus softwares are detecting Explorestart as virus. These warnings can be ignored and you can add exceptions for Explorestart in your anti-virus software.

This has probably has to do with these reasons:

  • executable is not signed with a EV Code Signing certificate
  • executable runs embedded PowerShell code (maybe i recode Explorestart in C# to fix this issue)
