Neither were any of our downloads detected by VirusTotal at the time of the release (yesterday afternoon).

Re: 6.3.6 version detected as a virus

Yes, same here. Seems to be a language file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\Translations\WinSCP.el
Detected as "Wacatac".

6.3.6 version detected as a virus

Anybody has the same experience?
Last version of MS Defender detects a trojan, VirusTotal says, the file is clean.
