[Bug]: TOTK_Optimizer_2.1.2_Windows.zip reportedly contains a virus

[mattzink]

Describe the bug

I was unable to download the `TOTK_Optimizer_2.1.2_Windows.zip` file because Windows Defender blocked it because it detected a virus. I figured it was a false positive, so I uploaded it to VirusTotal where 22 different virus engines detected a virus:

Lol wtf? It makes no sense

I think I'm going to remove the one_dir installation, I have no idea why it's flagging the zip but no issues with the executable lol

Looks like all 22 (now 23 after I reanalyzed) positives refer to a catch-all heuristic detector that shoots out false positives all the time.

It's because hackers will use --onedir to hide their code from scanners, so they scan for this instead.

Looked at the code, pretty neat stuff, but I don't think its dangerous at all.

Didn't know this, going to get rid of --onedir in the future, i thought it was less prone to false positives lol.
