I'm a paying customer, I emailed you a few days ago about ngrok being quarantined as a trojan by Windows Defender. Do you have a response on that?

please file a false positive bug report against windows defender. there's not much I can do about that if they're misclassifying ngrok

With due respect, shouldn't you be the one filing the report? I mean, that's a potential loss of quite a few clients there...

Been there in the past. You need users to report this. As an app developer you have very little leeway.

A report's good, but I care more about assurance of the integrity of the software I was running than having Windows Defender not quarantine my stuff. My build server has been remote-inaccessible all week when a simple 'no compromise of binaries that I know of, quite sure it's a false positive' would have sufficed.
