Windows Defender finds Woreflint.A!cl Virus in all three Downloads on Official Site
Hey, this is weird, but Windows Defender reports the "Woreflint.A!cl Trojan" on all three downloads on the official page:
http://tinycorelinux.net/downloads.html
Doesn't happen on any other download from the web, my machine is a brand new installation and shouldn't be infected, virus scans are negative.
Virustotal seems to find nothing though.https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/edc33c5ed05d6c2512df5da48567f52be08d42c4965ffdaf110c9a2d221170c0/detection
Probably a false positive.
Edit: Can confirm from another unrelated machine. You can't download any .iso with Chrome on Windows with the latest Defender definitions. It will always report "Virus found" right after the download and remove the file.

This just happened to me. Strangely, I've had the iso downloaded for almost a month and only now, after cleaning up my downloads folder, is Defender flagging it.
Yeah, I believe its a false positive, because almost no other anti-virus is flagging it. But it's surely not a cool thing to happen. I think the tinycorelinux team needs to contact MS to solve this.
