Just tried downloading the 0.7.7 installer, Windows Defender detects it as Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl (and Chrome reports "Failed, Virus detected" on the download).

Please check this out with Avast.

Note that the installer is created with a Microsoft tool.

I managed to download and install it with firefox but chrome detected the virus and set windows defender on a cleanup rampage
from wsltty.
Didn't get the virus alert yesterday but I can't download the file today because chrome detects virus
from wsltty.
having installed it via firefox and had the installer files deleted by windows defender, windows defender did not find any virus on the system so is it a hilarious signature collision in the installer alone I wonder?

I'm getting the same message as previously discussed in #32, that Defender SmartScreen prevented an unknown App from starting and talks about an unknown publisher. This does not call it a virus.
Chrome mentions a "threat" in a generic way, simply be referring to Windows Defender. When I click on the popup, Defender opens and does not report a threat.

I have updated Windows Defender and I'm on the latest Chrome 58.0.3029.110 and get a system notification about Defender removing some malware and this message is in Chrome
I don't know if Defender is somehow tipped off by Chrome but I can no longer download it in either browser, very odd indeed.
VirusTotal shows some interesting results, obviously its a false positive and the dates on the definitions listed are old https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/6d227ca3c6014aec840452401faf35f8e2916def09cd28e2508d6c7edf1c2e4c/analysis/1495348251/

I just tried installing the latest version and got a warning box from Windows Defender Smart Screen (I think, it doesn't pop up again if I run it again). Anyway, it was moaning about lack of a publisher.

Please recheck with 0.7.7.1.
from wsltty.
no virus warning with this download
from wsltty.
0.7.7.1 installer:
Windows Defender still reporting it as Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl, I made sure to update to the latest definitions first.
Going back and downloading 0.7.6 gives me no issues.
from wsltty.
Update: none of the 0.7.7 installers are being detected as viruses by Windows Defender any longer, guess they fixed their definitions
from wsltty.
Thanks for reporting back.
So if nobody objects, I will close this issue.
