Software requires that I disable antivirus to use

[SimonRosen173]

Describe the bug
Upon trying to download a video via a URL it gives the error "Error! Binaries missing/corrupted." and states "Please restart the app and disable antivirus.". This is very suspicious behavior that makes me believe this software is some form of malware.

Hi! Author here, the app is open source and does not contain any malware.
I added this explanation because it often means a file that is needed is locked, most of the time it is locked by an antivirus scanning it.

Might remove this message, because I agree it can be seen as suspicious.

@SimonRosen173 Just try the solution in #362 (comment)

I have this same error, but I've disabled all antivirus, and let the program be an exception on my firewall. I am not sure why it is not working. What else should I try?

Same issue as well, has worked on my system before. I tried it on a separate computer and same results. I also tried turning off firewall, but no dice. I was able to resolve the issue by uninstalling the application and reinstalling the 2.31 version.

Best Wishes to all!
