Windows Security does not like this example - James D Jarvis - 11-07-2023
Windows security does not like this example:
_MEM - QB64 Phoenix Edition Wiki
It quarantined QB6PE itself. Likely related to recent scare someone else had.

There are three examples, which one? Oh noes cannot use ```ConvertOffset&&()``` anymore! Or it might have to do with trying to download an image from a raw web address.
I'm really glad I use Linux and seldom (would like to say rarely or never) go into Windows. I don't even have Windows11 and I keep reading about what a joke it is which is not causing laughter any longer.
Before anybody criticizes me about it: take it from somebody who much prefers 32-bit and considers WindowsXP by default the best operating system ever, even over any 64-bit Linux and especially over Vista and later. This is just my opinion.

Well, in order to actually respond coherently to the post made by James, I'd say that the devs probably just need to make it clearer on the Wiki to everyone that they need to whitelist the QB64 folder.

More details are needed here. Which of the three examples? What version of Windows? Is it 32 or 64-bit OS?
I just tried all 3 and had no issues whatsoever with Windows compiling and running them.

Latest version of Qb64, 64bit, Windows 11. First example at link. It seemed to choke during compilation and as it ran the exe the security warnings came on in. It claimed it was "severe" and took action without my approval but was easy to restore.
