a) add app to white list of your antivirus . (older issues have tutorial )

b) read the readme? if you dont trust, dont use.

c) disable windows defender. use different antivirus app.
windows defender marks everthing as trojan/virus if not in their virus database

@blackholeearth The same still happens with BitDefender. I can't even download the exe file because BitDefender thinks this is a malware.

[blackholeearth]

White list brightness. exe in you antivirus . Or delete antivirus.

[wooseopkim]

1. I already whitelisted it.
2. Delete AV? You serious?

I found very shady that you ask people to disable his AV to use you program. Also, not only Windows defender, Malwarebytes and Bitdefender also detect this as a trojan

[blackholeearth]

@ isaa if you dont trust it. Dont use it. İ dont force any one to use it. İts hobby app.

İ advise to use emoaht monitarian. İts more proff. than this app.

İ dont wanna discuss it . Your app is shady i have heard it 1000 times .

Add Avast to the list. Maybe you can look into fixing the issue some day.
