This has apparently been happening majorly because of two things:

  • mid2chart
  • FastGH3.exe compression

I'm trying to look into how I can avoid this, instead of instructing people to manually whitelist it, by getting a free code signing certificate, because obviously GPG won't help any

As always (and until then), the #1 bandaid fix is making an exception for the launcher in your antivirus
For Defender, in a PowerShell:

Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "...\FastGH3.exe"
