Version 0.16.2 seems to have a trojan which 0.16.1 didn't have #35

I've unpacked the windows executable of 0.16.2 and Microsoft defender blocks access because of this: "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.C!ml". I know you include the sourcecode as a proof so it might be a false alert I was just wondering why this didn't happen with 0.16.1

Cheers,

It seems that not only my program has a false-positive report for exactly the same thing. Since the program is not commercial I see no point to bother and report to Microsoft that the program is clean etc.

Linkedin is a Microsft co. Probably they are monitoring us and their software doesn't this warning knowingly.
