        welcome to the notepad++ community, @wrolisonaflac

        the nsis installer’s helper file uninstall.exe will not trigger alerts, once it has been installed by the signed installer.

        as your concern at issue #5806 was a possible malware detection, there is no need to be alarmed, as long as you have downloaded the installer from our official resources.
        uninstall.exe will not be detected as malicious by any of the top ~70 antivirus/antimalware engines.

        please see the current virustotal.com results:

        uninstall.exe (7.7)

        uninstall.exe (7.7.1)

        please also make sure you only download notepad++ from our official resources at https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/

        many thanks and best regards.
