Windows Security detected & quaratntined keybaserq.exe as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml

It states "This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker. \AppData\Local\Keybase\keybaserq.exe"

Very likely a false positive, and not the first time this has happened with Keybase. However as precaution I will not allow the process until either this is openly stated and/or a "clean" update is pushed.
