The SHA256 of puro.exe v1.3.4 is a8a70d4ad8cf7ca0a6e4f1a94cac2c66f66717087f274755761d8e0593fdfcb5, windows defender has given me a heuristic based false positive before under a different name, but their support / file submission process the last 2 times I reported it was very unhelpful.

Virtustotal shows no major vendors flag it: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a8a70d4ad8cf7ca0a6e4f1a94cac2c66f66717087f274755761d8e0593fdfcb5/detection

I'll submit it to Microsoft a third time and see what's up :roll_eyes: at this point I'm convinced they really just trying to force us to buy $250+/yr smartscreen certificates.

Yeah, my hash matches, so I can attest that the file has not been tampered with in any way. How frustrating that they continue to flag this. But maybe you're right about needing that $250+/yr... we wouldn't want them to go out of business.
