Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

Microsoft warns for a trojan Win32/Wacatac.B!ml.

Hello @R0GGER,
You are right, however it could be seen as such, as it's an unknown app and doesn't have a digital signature and don't worry, is a False positive detection. It is very costly to keep software off Anti Virus detection list and being free software makes no sense to spend large amount of funds on such a project. You can safely add an exclusion within your AV software to help avoid detection in this case. For any question or doubt, I'm glad to help you.
Thanks

@miroslavpejic85 FYI, if this still occurs, or occurs again, you can submit your binary to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission and specify you believe it is a false positive. Their security team can review it and fix the issue with their definitions. This is safer than asking users to exempt software from malware scanning, and costs you nothing, as no digital signature is required.
