Security notes / alternative lightweight version
Microsoft Defender / Windows Security could identify application as a virus, trojan and/or malware which is not the case. I have created a lightweight version that does not trigger any false alarm, this version only can display the current week number in the task area, nothing else. Not autostart with Windows (it can manually be made to start with Windows - google how). Nor do the lightweight version have options to change icon colors or anything else that the full version of WeekNumber can do.
