[wix-users] installer reported by Windows Defender

[Lewie Fitz]

Just yesterday I tried to download my recently created bundle exe on 
another computer and Avast immediately detected it as a trojan of some 
kind and deleted it. I do wish these anti-malware programs would ASK the 
user what to do by default rather than make it a pain to deal with 
trying to use a new program.
