Signing Executables From GitHub Actions
Hopefully, by now, we all know that we shouldn't download and run random, untrusted executables from the internet. Users want to feel good that the code they are executing is authentic and free from malware. Windows Defender is one of the better things Microsoft has done to keep the world safe. Defender is a free anti-virus application that scans executables for malicious code. Often criticized for its intrusiveness (among other reasons), it's still a vital tool for millions of Windows users around the globe. While it's not the only anti-virus/endpoint protection tool around, it comes with Windows by default so making sure it doesn't tell your users your application is suspicious by popping up some scary modal dialog is important!
