Windows Defender: Trojan warning

1

Hi all,

I’ve been a happy user of GraphViz but had to install it on Windows yesterday. I downloaded from https://www2.graphviz.org/Packages/stable/windows/10/msbuild/Release/Win32/ the file graphviz-2.44.1-win32.zip. Then Windows defender reported to me that gvpr.exe has the threat Program:Win32/Uwasson.A!ml. So I checked with Virustotal as well and I get 23/73 positives: VirusTotal
Is this just a false positive or did I download a malicious version of Graphviz?

Sorry about this. Currently the general consensus is that it’s a false positive: Potential Trojan in Graphviz Binary Distribution - Win32/Uwasson.A!ml (#1773) · Issues · graphviz / graphviz · GitLab

Fair enough, just wanted to make sure you were aware.
