#### 🛡️ Windows Defender / Antivirus Warning
Some antivirus software may flag the `.exe` files as false positives. This is a **known limitation** of PyInstaller-packaged applications.
**Why this happens:**
- PyInstaller bundles Python runtime and libraries together
- Antivirus heuristics can misidentify packed executables as suspicious
- This affects many legitimate Python applications built with PyInstaller
**Safe alternatives:**
-**Use pip installation:** `pip install ytsage` (recommended)
-**Build from source**
-**Whitelist the application** in your antivirus software
> 📋 **Related Issues:** [#33](https://github.com/oop7/YTSage/issues/33) - This is a known PyInstaller limitation, not a security issue with YTSage itself.
