The fact Nim gets flagged makes no sense to begin with. And the criteria on which it gets flagged are absurd as well (see <https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17820> how absurd it all really is). So not only do I think it's not a big issue, It's not even a Nim issue. I don't think it's fair to expect compiler developers to waste their time trying satisfy capricious software that can change their criteria at will. Again, you can install Nim on WSL easily or manually whitelist Nim. > Maybe some additional docs for windows installation may help. Before > installing, or even downloading exclude the various directories from scanning. Why would changing the directory it downloads / install Nim change anything ?And if it did, would you really trust an anti-virus that can be by-passed by changing folder ? The only long-term solution is that AV vendor get their shit together and allow Nim.
