[fpc-pascal] Windows Defender considers fp.exe a malicious program

The problem I have had is when programs I compile generate a false virus detection.. sure on my own computer I can just disable that directory from the virus scanner but it becomes a problem when I release it to my customers and their virus scanners quarantine it. I have no idea how to registe
