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.

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".

Do you still have the problem? Might have been a temporary issue.
Now, just few hours later, none of the links above report any problem.
Neither were any of our downloads detected by VirusTotal at the time of the release (yesterday afternoon).
