Shadowsocks-windows: A new problem about Auto-downloading of the new version 4.0.9

[WildBlizzard]

I using the version of 4.0.5 and i don't want to download the 4.0.9(cause of Windows defender‘s warned).
But i found a problem recently, that the software of shadowsocks(4.0.5) always download the latest version(4.0.9) to my laptop automatically.
And i really don't like the behavior.
Do you all have the same problem with me?
Please tell me here,thank you.
