Description

@dkull

The Windows binary release rc335 is caught by Microsoft Defender.
It's heuristics flag it as Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml

This:
https://github.com/probelabs/probe/releases/download/v0.6.0-rc335/probe-v0.6.0-rc335-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip

Get's a 1/70 detetions by Microsoft Defender.

I know it's a false positive, but maybe there's something to be done.

Thanks.

EDIT: rc331 (and likely most others) are not detected.
