Describe the bug
Whenever I run the WPILib Installer for version 2025.3.2, my antivirus (Malwarebytes) flags it as ransomware and quarantines it, stopping the installation.

To Reproduce
Run the WPILib 2025.3.2 installer (with malwarebytes installed, seeing as I don't know if other antiviruses also do this)

Expected behavior
WPILib 2025.3.2 should install correctly

Desktop:
