If the nwjs team confirm there is no malicious code, please upload the file to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission to get MS to look at file and change their signatures (heck i will do it if needed, i regularly submit stuff)

also always sign all the dll's and exe's files within NWJS with codesign and an official certificate. This will produce a new signature and also give much more trust to the installers.
