Blocked by Bitdefender

I attempted to download via PowerShell and got this error:
At line:1 char:1

• Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PeonPing/pe ...

This script contains malicious content and has been blocked by your antivirus software.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ScriptContainedMaliciousContent

I then checked my Bitdefender, and this is what I am seeing:
PowerShell tried to load a malicious resource detected as Heur.BZC.ZFV.Boxter.341.25637DE7 and was blocked. Your device is safe.

Closing as not planned. This is a Bitdefender heuristic flag on Invoke-WebRequest | Invoke-Expression, a generic pattern flagged across many installer scripts and not specific to peon-ping. Not something we can fix on our end (the alternative would be to abandon the one-line install pattern that everyone else uses).

Workarounds for anyone hitting this:

1. Whitelist raw.githubusercontent.com/PeonPing/peon-ping/main/install.ps1 in Bitdefender.
2. Download first, inspect, then run locally:

   Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PeonPing/peon-ping/main/install.ps1" -OutFile install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing
   # inspect install.ps1
   .\install.ps1

3. On WSL2, use the bash installer instead.

Reopen if you find a Bitdefender-specific signature change we can avoid.
