🔒 Security & Antivirus Notice

⚠️ False Positive Detection

Some antivirus software may flag the executable as suspicious. This is a known false positive common with PyInstaller applications.

Why this happens:

• Unsigned executable (no code signing certificate yet)
• Packed binary format triggers heuristic detection
• New application without established reputation

✅ Recommended Safe Installation:

# Install from source (100% safe)
git clone https://github.com/idpcks/DevServerManager.git
cd DevServerManager/runserver
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

🛡️ Verification:

• Open Source: All code is publicly auditable
• No Network Data: Application doesn't send data to external servers
• Local Only: All operations are performed locally
