Windows binary for release v2.20.16 contains a trojan

Windows prevented me from downloading the binary. It did not complain about v2.20.15

Thank you for bringing this to the attention. I've inspected the changes between both versions, and (obviously) nothing indicates that a virus seeped in. I'm sure this is a false positive. Is that the default Windows Defender? Do you happen to have any other scanner you can try?
I've tried two online services:
- https://internxt.com/virus-scanner reports all fine
- https://virusscan.jotti.org/ reports all fine for all antivirus scanners, except for Ikarus which reports Trojan.WinGo.Shellcoderunner (a false positive I suppose, or maybe it errs on the side of precaution)
I have analysed the exe with eset Endpoint Security v11, nothing was found.
I can confirm that I no longer experience this issue (on the same system)
I am not sure what - if anything - has changed on my system, but it seems to be a false report then.
Sorry for any inconvenience - but better safe than sorry (I hope).
Thanks for your great work.
Thanks for coming back to this, it always good to be on the safe side!
