Lexicon-tagger.exe detected as Trojan on serato import

Lexicon version: 1.8.1
Operating system (remove one): Windows 11

Bug description:
When you import a playlist with merge, you get this error message: SPAWN Unknow
I haven’t tested the other imports/exports for the moment in 1.8.

When I look at the logs of the windows defender antivirus, I see that the lexicon-tagger.exe process is seen as a serious trojan alert.

Excluding the lexicon directory allow the import action.

The lexicon-tagger.exe process is new (it was called tagger.exe and has been in Lexicon for years). It had to be renamed to avoid confusion where tagger.exe might be from. Sadly this resulted in Defender not knowing it anymore, but it is a temporary issue while the exe file builds reputation. So just keep whitelisting it and over time Defender will trust it :+1:
