Latest Version Flagged as Trojan

[Doug]

just downloaded latest version (Windows 10 machine to update a w7 laptop) and Windows Defender is flagging UpdateGenerator.exe as a Trojan, specifically Trojan:Win32/Varpes.N!plock.

Is this a false flag? Previous versions have never been flagged.

False positive!

Yes. Didn't realise that new post need to be vetted. In the time between, I did run EEK and Malwarebytes AM and they reported it clean. Not sure what's up with Windows Defender, never happened before.

Thanks for clearing the matter up though.
