Anti virus providers normally have page where you can submit false 
positives.

For windows defender it seems to be here. (unlike most other AV 
companies, you need to sign in)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission

Of course that needs the exe to be detected (well I don't know if AV 
companies accept submissions that are not detected). If you release 
today, your exe can still be detected as avirus in a few month. Once it 
is detected, you can submit it.

That may not solve the issue for self build fp.exe .
If the AV whitelists the exact exe, it will fail the next time you 
build, because fpc includes a timestamp (afaik)
