webserial is being reported as dangerous by Windows Security...

Why write about it now? Because Windows decided not to inform me of this quarantine.

Unfortunately, there is not much I can do to fix it. One possible option would be to remove the .exe file from the addon bundle, but that would require downloading it from GitHub instead.

Pretty dire score on virustotal.com too

You are free to:

• inspect the source code on GitHub and how the binaries are built,
• compile the program yourself,
• or avoid using the addon if you're worried about it being dangerous.

This program needs to access low-level hardware (COM ports), it is downloaded by a web browser, and is not very popular. All of that makes AV software detect it as a false positive.

Besides, notice that the detections say "downloader" which is exactly what it does. It's not a malicious thing to do. Also notice that 11/72 isn't a critical score, and all of the well known AV software brands have not detected the file.
