#580 7zr.exe detected by Microsoft Windows Defender

[Simon]

Hi, Version "24.8.0.0" of 7zr.exe (7-Zip console executable) is detected as "PUA:Win32/Packunwan" by Microsoft Windows Defender. I made a false positive report and they responded as follows:

The files are classified as potentially unwanted applications (PUA). At this time the detection will remain in place.

More detailed information about the approach and criteria categories currently used by the Microsoft researchers are available here:

Thank you for contacting Microsoft.

On VirusTotal they seem to be the only ones together with "SecureAge" and "Trapmine", I hope they don't do it for geopolitics.
