Download counter & Malware protection

Open SlimRG opened this issue 4 years ago • 9 comments

Today users have no feedback information. It will be better if we know for exemple - how many times app was downloaded

Another problem is conflicts with Windows Malware Protection. Some apps after installation will cause anti-virus aggression (for example IoBit products) In my opinion it will be better if we can see, for example (Ⓜ) , if programm is safe for use with Microsoft Antivirus

This is starting to get a very needed feature, with the availiability of tools sich as winget-ui, packages will need some credentiability so that a simple gui user can decide which one is commonly installed and which one is not.
