After each new release, the windows binary will need to be sent to Microsoft for analysis before being removed from the flagged list.
This should probably be added to the build/release process.
Signing the windows binary can also help against this.

It's a known issue that GoLang binaries gets flagged as "virus" by MS Defender. See this example with a simple "Hello World" that gets flagged: https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/84185/false-positive-when-running-go-lang-program-edited-in-visual-studio-code

One possible solution might be to sign every new binary: https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode
