The virus scanner blocked the file `tokei.exe`

![SuspiciousFile](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/e/7/e75c4cdeb76555df1272d48e581c8c575909e957.png)

I’m quite sure it’s a legit file, but it would be nice to be able to learn more about it before I ask our IT to unblock it.

That is the [tokei](https://github.com/XAMPPRocky/tokei) binary from [Tokei\_jll](https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/Tokei_jll.jl/blob/45e15760dd3b2647218b8fabe006c8aa186dcb90/Artifacts.toml#L130C52-L130C52).
