Windows Defender says fommsetup-0.14.14.5.exe contains the following virus: Win32/Cloxer.D!cl

Guaranteed false positive...I believe that virusware tags it as bad due to FOMM's ability to manipulate other files, something virusware doesn't like.

I understand that. The only reason I started a thread about it, was because none of the previous versions triggered Windows Defender, so I thought it might be something new. Also, with false positives, the virus it finds is usually named Trojan.gen or something, for "generic", which means it was found using a heuristics check or something, like you said, because of the exe's ability to alter files. It's very rare for it to identify a specific virus in these cases.

But OK, I trust Kaspersky more than Windows Defender :)

Just FWIW - I've seen a number of people comment/complain/stuff about WinDef calling out various managers as malware, including FOMM more than once. Is there a way for you to submit a false-positive report (I have never used WinDef and have no idea about such)?

Windows Defender currently not finding anything wrong with setup, not with fomm files. Also Virustotal currently marks fomm setup as clean: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/500670c094bb96e02821f0c8100ed17abede0ce2f8775ff050cba90379b0b424/analysis/1546680965/
