Antivirus detects ‘malware’ when using hotkeys

Please note: Its a false positive. It’s because Windows 11 Folder Color Changer is attempting to capture your ALT-Q or ALT-W keystroke. (Good on your antivirus for trying to protect you; capturing keystrokes by apps can indeed be dangerous if you don’t know why they are being captured).

To resolve the issue, add an exclusion / exception for Windows 11 Folder Color Changer in your antivirus.

(If your antivirus ‘quarantined’ the app, refer to your antivirus help / support to restore the app).
