Im trying to install yara with vcpkg using command: .\vcpkg.exe isntall yara Installation got interrupted by windows defender, that identified yara as a backdoor malware. I've also checked binaries and both of then got flagged as malware in VirusTotal. Is is false positive? Anyone encoutered this? fsrgdsr ssfefse

That's probably a false positive. However, I can't make any guarantee about any binaries published by vcpkg. I can make guarantees about the files published as part of release in this repository.
