Description
I switched to squirrel in order to use electron's autoUpdater, however the firewall exception prompt at every single update is an issue.

Reading this (#1045) gives me the impression that it should be solved...

The security alert is for the \local\app\app-0.0.0.X\app.exe , not for the \local\app\app.exe, as you can see in the image:

Application signing would solve this? Or is #951 our best solution at the moment?

It would being able to trust either the author or the root directory.
