Facing issues with Blazor webapp deployed on Netlify

I’m pretty new to web development, I might talk non-sense. After following some tutorials I’ve found a way to deploy a Blazor webapp on Netlify. For that I’m using a DotNet action on Github. It works almost perfectly, here is is the link: https://chefty.netlify.com. The thing is, my website is blocked by my antivirus (Avast).

I believe what the solution did was change the encoding from UTF-8 to ANSI. The issue is Visual Studio saves most (all?) files as UTF-8, so i believe any user that creates the _redirects file in visual studio will experience this issue. Perhaps updated guidance on the _redirects documentation to warn about this issue, or maybe enhance the server side code.
