Go 1.16 for windows - trojan detection

[jelhub]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

$ go version
go version go1.16 windows/amd64

Running on Windows 10

What did you do?

Uninstalled 1.15.7 and installed the new version 1.16 for testing
/go run .

Windows Virus & treat protection detects a virus, got message:
go tool asm: fork/exec C:\Program Files\Go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64\asm.exe: Operation did not complete successfully because the file contains a virus or potentially unwanted software.

What did you expect to see?

Something else than a virus warning

Unfortunately not everyone can override domain controlled virus policies.
Would be a lot of job for all using windows
Maybe you should inform those making virus protections e.g. Microsoft, Bitdefender, ...

Sorry but I believe it's your responsibility (or your place IT department's) to let the specific antivirus vendor you choose to make business with that their product is unable to tell apart a Go compiler from a trojan.

FYI,
Submitted request to Microsoft and got following feedback:

We have removed the detection. Please follow the steps below to clear cached detection and obtain the latest malware definitions.

1. Open command prompt as administrator and change directory to c:\Program Files\Windows Defender
2. Run “MpCmdRun.exe -removedefinitions -dynamicsignatures”
3. Run "MpCmdRun.exe -SignatureUpdate"

Alternatively, the latest definition is available for download here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions

Now everything working fine.
Thanks
