This email seems like an interesting idea. Note that there appear to be two separate issues going on. One has to do with problems with MiKTeX, the other has to do with a false positive from the virus scanner. This email has to do with the second issue.
Scott p.s. note that Luis Seidel did give permission for his email to be forwarded (and thus made public)
--- Begin Message ---A suggested action seen in Stackexchange "You might have encountered a false positive. Microsoft has a procedure for removing those from their signatures. Please submit your application to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/antimalware-support/developer-resources The procedure works as follows: Submit the file in question as a software developer. Wait until your submission has a final determination. If you’re not satisfied with our determination of the submission, use the developer contact form provided with the submission results to reach Microsoft. We will use the information you provide to investigate further if necessary. We encourage all software vendors and developers to read about how Microsoft identifies malware and unwanted software."
