McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7 on Windows 10 prevents it from working saying that it is malicious with threat severity as "Critical". Here's a screenshot:

Since the screenshot does not capture full information, here is a copy-paste text version of it:

Online testing at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload says that it is clean. That list also includes McAfee-GW-Edition according to which it is clean. The issue only seems to be with McAfee Endpoint Security!

Edit: I've sent an email requesting them to check the file.

I had emailed a check request for the windows executable to McAfee. The problem seems to be resolved now.
