The setup installer created with Inno Setup Compiler was being detected as a virus by Windows Defender on the latest version of Windows 10 Professional. The issue actually started showing after the file was named as "setup.exe" in particular. Customized naming before the same had no issues. After using the "setup" name for the desired exe installer by chance, even customized naming then onwards were giving issues.
Currently I have updated versions of the installer and for now Windows Defender is ok with them apparently. But I thought I should report it here.
Here are the details of the report that were generated:
Alert level: Severe
Status: Quarantined
