in thread PAR::Packer generated EXE that was detected as a trojan...

I installed a new Win7 x86 in VMWare with Strawberry Perl 5.28.0.1 and built my EXE using pp. Guess what? It was also detected as a trojan in my Win10 x64 machine by Windows Defender!!!

As my real box has the same version of Strawberry Perl and can generate EXE files OK, without being detected as trojan by the same machine, I think that it is something to do with x86 versions of generated executables...

I'll try the notification to Windows Defender team road.
