Windows Defender Security Center sees Trojan #7

When downloading 3.4.2.0 version from home page the Windows Defender Security Center finds: Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.C!cl, but previous version is OK for Windows.

Also, apparently VirusTotal does not see any problem with newest version: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/09876a9f98dde4ce8e0e96dc057457c7f21db278656fcca715da63ed3ac02e2f/detection

I'm seeing the same virus report from the auto update.

CapsLock Indicator prompted me to download a new version to fix a issue with the overlay when the start bar is not on the bottom (which applies to me, I have it on the right, but had not noticed any issues).

After accepting the update, it installed and asked me to restart, which I did and Windows Defender immediately showed a toast message stating that I had a virus (New Caps Lock did not launch). Clicking on the details shows:

That seems to be a false positive (google "fuerboos c cl false positive"). CapsLock Indicator is, and will always be, free of malware. Have a look at the source code on here! If you don't trust the precompiled binaries, you can always compile the source code yourself.
