Detection:

Not sure what else there is to say. This happens on a fresh download of the Windows amd64 version from GitHub releases. Should be relatively simple to reproduce.

Hi, this is a false alarm. We sent a report to Microsoft, and here's how they reply:

At this time, the submitted files do not meet our criteria for malware or potentially unwanted applications. The detection has been removed. Please follow the steps below to clear cached detections and obtain the latest malware definitions.

 1. Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender 
 2. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures"
 3. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here: https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/manage-updates-baselines-microsoft-defender-antivirus

Thank you.
