When downloading the executable of gvim 8.0, Windows Defender finds a trojan: Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.A!cl

The file is: gvim_8.0.1216_x86.exe

I download it on Windows 10, but Windows Defender didn't warn it. Does it still occur?

It seems that we can submit a file for analysis from here:

Yep, the warning is still there. I have done the Microsoft Defender file submission, so they will take a look at it. I'll keep you posted.

As expected, the submission was completed and the verdict for gvim_8.0.1216_x86.exe is: "not malware".

I guess that's that. Hope they update their definitions soon (I have 1.255.118.0). Current status on updating is 'pending', both for cloud and client.

I a closing this, as this is not really a problem caused by anything we have under our control here. Thanks.
