Google Chrome refuses to download binary files from nightly link (it detects viruses). Windows Defender is detecting the same. False positive?

I think that for software that has not passed Windows authentication (aka recharging to Microsoft), as long as the wpcap.dll in the system library is used, it will be recognized as a Trojan by the operating system.

To avoid false positives, two versions are provided for Windows. win7 version will use the wpcap.dll and the default version which will use the built-in libpcap. The latter one will not cause false positives on my computer.
