+> [!WARNING]
+>Microsoft and other major antivirus vendors may have flagged OpenHardwareMonitor as malware. This is a false positive and is not related to a virus or anything similar. Signals from Microsoft usually extend to other antivirus vendors as well.
+>OpenHardwareMonitor has a history of being falsely flagged as malware by antivirus vendors (including Defender). This is likely due to its behavior, such as creating a task with administrator privileges to auto-start the application after login, or storing an internal driver in a temporary folder to gain access to hardware resources.
+
+Currently, Defender does not flag this release, but it is likely that future updates may be flagged by Defender's machine learning-based detection systems within a few days of release.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+>If Defender or another antivirus detects any part of OpenHardwareMonitor as malware, it may prevent proper work or cause application to fail to start.
+> OpenHardwareMonitor will not start if this file exists but is blocked from being loaded.
+>We strongly recommend excluding OpenHardwareMonitor's binaries from antivirus scans
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You can include the app folder in your antivirus' exclusion list to prevent issues due to antivirus detections
+
+For Defender, you can run the following script in PowerShell as an administrator:
+`Add-MpPreference -ExclusionPath "folder_with_app_binaries"`
+
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> If your antivirus deletes the downloaded app file, you may need to temporarily disable real-time protection or save the file in an excluded folder.
+> If you are not comfortable with this process or your antivirus is managed by your company, we do not recommend using OpenHardwareMonitor. Please consider alternative solutions instead.
