Not only Windows Defender:
After a compiler run sometimes BitDefender moans (seldom) that the
binary is some malware.
Adding (or deleting) some code, another compiler run and the phantom is
gone.
The Anti-Virus programs use a heuristic because of the immense ammount
of malware and virus.
It is no pattern matching anymore like in the "old days".
So the number of false positive alarm increases.
Example: After using 7 years the YajHFC (Yet another Java HylaFAX
client) on our Windows clients
Bitdefender suddenly moant that it is malware: False positive.

Unfortunately from what I've read just using certain Windows APIs is
enough to get an executable flagged. Probably nothing to be too
concerned about.

*Subject:* [fpc-pascal] Windows Defender considers fp.exe a malicious
program
Hello all,
As of trunk r48648, Windows Defender deletes fp.exe after compilation
because it considers it an infected file. It claims that fp.exe is
infected with Trojan:Win32/Fuerboos.E!cl and quarantines the file.
Anyone else is experiencing this? Any idea why is this happening?
