Windows Defender reported Virus/Trojan detected when using the Build 3103 x64 Installer

Is there anything wrong with it?

I believe this is a miss detection that also happened in a recent previous version when the installer was updated for Windows 10 compatibility (they deprecated sha1 for Win10 or something like that )

btw, you mentioned version 3013 but you are linking version 2.02a which is other version. The download link is here http://www.sublimetext.com/3

Thanks! The link is now fixed.

I tried the same installer on another PC running Windows 10 and Windows Defender. This time it was all OK, didn’t give any alarms or errors. This file itself looks good: Virustotal Report. I think it might be a rare issue that only happens to a few people…
