I downloaded the 0.18.2 release this morning from the repo. When trying to run an import Windows Defender is flagging the exe as a Trojan and Quarantining it as Win32/Bearfoos.A!ml. I've verified that all Defender signatures are up to date. 0.18.1 does not display the same issue.

The binary isn't signed, which is suspicious in Windows Defender eyes. I have tested the latest release with Windows Defender on a Win11 box. No detection.

I have checked the binary from the release with the virus total web site:
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/dc7b3fc7873ffc23e3b8cd2da7e1b8e1b9345639fa5a4123ae9231d77f98ad2a/detection

1 positive over 74 tests. It's likely to be a false alarm.

The windows binary is complied on a linux box less susceptible to be infected.
I'll check how to build the binaries in a secured environment and to sign the binaries.
