Windows defender alerting about [ haxe-4.0.0-rc.3-win64.exe ] that it contains a Trojan

Hey guys ,

i just downloaded the file from official site and Windows Defender is alerting about it .

i don’t know i just deleted the exe for now but can any one tell me where to download the new version without getting blocked by Windows Defender.

Anti-virus software very often has false-positives on Haxe installer. See Avira trojan warning · Issue #77 · HaxeFoundation/haxe.org · GitHub

For now, you may just temporarily turn off Windows Defender and install it.

In the long run, signed binaries may or may not help with this: Signed binaries · Issue #7720 · HaxeFoundation/haxe · GitHub
