Hi @vasouv,
thanks for this report and sorry for the inconvenience, it's a false positive related to NSIS (installer) user by electron-builder with Windows Defender.

Here some threads from electron-builder related to this issue:
electron-userland/electron-builder#6347
electron-userland/electron-builder#6334

They fixed this false positive with this PR:
electron-userland/electron-builder#6447

A new electron-builder release is expected to arrive soon, so there should be no Windows Defender alerts in the next Antares update.
If you consider that it could still be dangerous you could switch, at least temporarily, to the distribution on the Microsoft Store.

Hey @Fabio286,
I was pretty sure it would be a false positive, just wanted to make sure it was known and not something that would go unnoticed.

Thanks man, I don't mind at all waiting for the next update :)
