Tweaked some things in the launcher to hopefully reduce false positives overly sensitive anti-viruses.

Technical Details

The false positives appear to come from overzealous machine learning matching. On Windows's built-in AV, this is easy to see - the hit will have "ml" at the end of it:

What this means is that it isn't a concrete match, but rather, the machine learning is just making an educated guess. Unfortunately, these guesses are often wrong.

The exe files contain almost no code - they are generated by launch4j, and merely check if you have a usable Java install (or the bundled one) and then launch it. The updater is the only executable that contains more than that - it has a single jar file bundled into the exe.
