No comments @henrypp? Never had this issue before with simplewall.

Not a false positive, my PC is infected with a crypto miner since this morning and I didn't download anything.

It's possible that another software downloaded this trojan but that's just strange that it happen on the day Windows Defender flagged Simplewall as a trojan.

Also, I tried Simplewall inside a VM and I was not able to get infected again. But I noticed I couldn't install the latest version without installing Microsoft Visual C++. I was able to install 3.7.1 without it.
