xpra client detected as harmful by windows 10 edge /w defender

Both of these

• https://xpra.org/dists/windows/Xpra-Client-Python2-x86_64_3.0.13-r28289.msi
• https://xpra.org/dists/windows/Xpra-Client-Python2-x86_64_Setup_3.0.13-r28289.exe

are doomed by Microsoft Edge 89.0.774.45 on Windows 10 as potentially malicious, prohibiting install.

Is this something to worry about?

Probably not, we keep getting false positives from various AV vendors:

• Symantec: Win32 client python code triggering false positive for virus scanner #527
• Microsoft: xpra 4.0 wrongly detected as Trojan:Win32/Sprisky.D!cl #2781

Does it give you any details about which part it is unhappy about?
Or is their "AI" being facetious again?

I am not sure, supposedly the Smartscreen functionality is flagging it and I have difficulties of getting any clear judgement data from it. It may be an AI decision...

Anyhow, I reported these as false positives to Microsoft. Hopefully they will agree at some point.
