Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocked AntiAlexa due to Backdoor:Win32/Bladabindi!ml about antialexa

Yes it is!
You can see and compile the source code of my program and, as you can see, there is no malicious code in it.
The false positive is probably caused by the the program's attempt to copy itself into Windows startup folder.
Please, if you can, report the case of false positive to Windows Defender to prevent other users from running into the same problem, thank you!
