I am making a portable minecraft launcher in golang, and so far it is going well aside from this one issue, rcedit appears to be triggering Windows Defender to think it is a Trojan

The release build has rcedit used on it, the testing build does not. That is the only difference

This one is the Release Build
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/845a514179da888e36a1de1f46dcbb7cfaa1cb7f7967945459044f82ad84738e/detection

This is the Testing build
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/70a8582f095e971f41152966e041a68f0e153b3fc3e1b595924dca400aa80185/detection

only difference is the release build has this

rcedit MineCraft.portable.exe \
  --set-icon assets/icon.ico \
  --set-version-string "FileDescription" "MineCraft Portable" \
  --set-version-string "ProductName" "MineCraft Portable"
