[fpc-pascal] Windows Defender considers fp.exe a malicious program

[Alexander Grotewohl]

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?
