🛡️ Windows Defender False Positives

Because Monix can register itself for startup, some AV engines may flag it. If needed, add the EXE to Windows Security exclusions:

1. Windows Security → Virus & Threat Protection
2. Manage Settings → Exclusions → Add or Remove
3. Add an Exclusion → File → select the Monix EXE.
