Latest Windows 10 Defender (5/10/18) reports virus "Win32/Fuery.A!.cl" on vimrun.exe.

vimrun.exe is from gvim_8.0.1806_x86.zip or gvim_8.0.1806_x86.exe.

But, I sync the code myself, "* (HEAD detached at v8.0.1806)". And build it by myself using Visual Studio 2017. However, Windows 10 Defender does NOT reports virus on the built vimrun.exe.

So is it a really virus???

Does it happen in previous releases such as ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/gvim80-586.exe?

Could you report it to Microsoft?
See: vim/vim-win32-installer#36

In addition, you can always upload the file to virustotal to have a check from other AV vendors. That can often give a clue

Tried on VirusTotal. It turned to be a false positive.

And reported to MS.
