    It’s not inherently bad, at least from the user’s perspective, but Windows Defender will make you click “more info” or something before giving you the “run anyways” because it thinks it’s a risk. I’ve never gotten a virus doing this, though

      Because viruses fake a licence so they don’t get detected that easily. Which means the extremely expensive license you have to buy from Microsoft is useless for actual security.
