Copying what I wrote on discord:

Strange. I don't use Windows myself, but I'm not sure what would have caused this. Maybe (from the name) it's because there's a link to a malicious website in the script as a test case? I don't do background checks for requested websites, so it's quite possible there are some malicious domains that are supported.

I'm not sure what to do about this, other than to report it as a false positive to Microsoft perhaps? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
