Describe the bug
Windows Defender quarantines the vhs executable.
I have been running VHS fine for a week or so until suddenly PowerShell errored out with the following message:

Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

Sure enough, checking Windows Defender > Virus and threat protection > Protection History revealed the executable was quarantined.

Setup

  • OS [Windows 10]
  • Shell [PowerShell]
  • Terminal Emulator [Windows Terminal]

To Reproduce
I'm not sure how reproducible this issue is. I'd imagine someone running Windows with the same Windows Defender virus definitions as me would eventually run into this issue. Definition version: 1.411.280.0

Expected behavior
VHS should not be quarantined by anti-virus software and the software should remain accessible to the user.

Additional Context
I have submitted a false positive report to Microsoft Security Intelligence.
