Windows 10 Microsoft Defender has just "Detected Trojan:Win32/Suschil!rfn" in the latest Remote Utilities host-7.6.2.0.msi file and quarantined it.
Is this a false positive?
Is Microsoft supposed to relent after being told it's fine and allow the file?
If so, who tells them?

Hello Robin,
Thank you for your message.
Version 7.6.2.0 has been around for several months now and is digitally signed by an EV Code Signing certificate. Back when we initially released the version there was a detection by Windows Defender by then they prompty removed it.
Microsoft has a dedicated form to submit a false positive report:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
Feel free to submit an FP using the form above. We will do that as well.
Thanks.

Version 7.6.2.0 was released 16th October, so less than two months ago.
Thank you for submitting a false positive form to Microsoft for this - I'd rather not as they make you sign in.

Thank you, David, much appreciated. It's strange that Microsoft dislikes the .msi files but leaves the .exe Host alone, even though it's essentially the same .msi file wrapped.
