    Hi @Tanav Saini Auto clicker applications often behave in a way that can be interpreted as malicious by antivirus software mainly because they perform repetitive tasks without user intervention. Consider signing your application with a code signing certificate. Code signing is the method of using a certificate-based digital signature to sign executables and scripts in order to verify the author's identity and ensure that the code has not been changed or corrupted since it was signed by the author. This can often prevent antivirus software from flagging your application. Additionally, to avoid the application being incorrectly flagged as a Trojan by Defender, you can submit your application for review by Microsoft as you had already tried initially but try to package your application into a single executable or a zipped file for submission.
