When downloading the 7z file, computer lags up hard in an attempt to remove the software, as it is considered as a trojan.

It's a false-positive, I'm unsure why.

Another user also reported it here. https://github.com/MattMcManis/Axiom/issues/37

I've submitted a sample to Microsoft Security Intelligence for them to analyze.

What I think was happening was the auto-updating and network related code might be triggering a red flag and the executable does not meet the security standards, possibly. A Code Signing Certificate might fix the problem for $70 /yr if it comes up again.

I had this last week when updating to the new version. It is really annoying, especially on the computer at the office. Please fix this!

I have used this tool for more than one year and found nothing strange or dangerous to me. Anyway, you can try it in a sandbox, then check, copy or run the output by yourself ...
