It might be worth trying a manual download and install, if what you're
Anti-Virus is objecting to is the EDMarketConnector.exe -> WinSparkle.dll
-> Download -> Run Installer chain:
1. Download the `.msi` file for the [latest release](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/releases/latest)
2. Manually run that `.msi` file to install.
If that fails you might consider reporting the detection as a false
positive. In the unlikely case of us becoming aware that a virus *has*
somehow made its way into our files we would disable GitHub downloads.
If you're really worried about our executables, but feel you can still
trust our source code then you can always investigate
