Summary

Added comprehensive download and installation instructions to the README, making it easier for users to get started with the Windows Security Scanner.

Changes

  • Added a new "Download" section with a table comparing available distribution formats
  • Documented two installation methods:
    • Portable executable (down.exe) — for users who want to run immediately without installation
    • Installer package (DOWN-Security-Scanner-v0.3.0-windows.zip) — for users who prefer a traditional installation with PATH integration and desktop shortcuts
  • Included step-by-step quick start guides for both methods
  • Added note about Windows SmartScreen warnings for unsigned executables
  • Linked to the Releases page for easy access to downloads

Details

The new documentation provides clear, actionable instructions for both novice and experienced users, reducing friction in the onboarding process. Instructions include handling of Windows SmartScreen warnings and administrator privilege requirements for the installer.
