Extension works without any issues, the helper files are Microsoft visual basic runtimes.. anything that flags it is a false positive. 100% safe and 100% functional.

This function is impossible to implement in any extension, without using a helper program, which is a HUGE SECURITY RISK. The need to install a helper executable should be written in the description!
