Windows Defender thinks paket 5.151.3 is a trojan #3121

Description

Description

I started having issues fetching paket.exe through paket.bootstrapper.exe.
When the bootstrapper tries to fetch paket.exe, windows defender removes the file, and claims that the file contains the trojan "Win32/Critet.BS".
