Thread detected with v1.3.0 (Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml)

Hi there,

I've downloaded the .zip for both v1.2.0 and v1.3.0, and Windows Defender deletes the v1.3.0 zip:

The strange thing is that if I allow the file to exist, extract its contents, and scan the extracted files, Windows Defender does not complain about a trojan.

Thank you for the information.

I've reported the file as a false-positive to Microsoft. I guess we can just wait and see if they update the definitions.
We had similar issues with various anti malware software for previous releases, but to my knowledge they have all been fixed after some time.

For now, you could use the "wslgit.zip" from the 1.2.0 release, and just replace the extracted file wslgit\cmd\wslgit.exe with the wslgit.exe from the 1.3.0 release. The other files in the zip release have not changed.
