RedisInsight contains malware

I installed RedisInsight -win.1.2.0 a few days ago. I checked the Installation-Files with VirusTotal. Only one scanner reported an infection with a trojan. This seems to me as a false alarm. But today windows defender stopped the file. If i scan the RedisInsight.exe with VirusTotal today there are 23 findings!

A new version of RedisInsight (v1.2.2) just got released and had this fixed.

It was actually a false-positive reported by certain antivirus vendors. Nothing malicious was shipped with RedisInsight! This was due to pyinstaller's issue. https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/4633

The new version doesn't fall under this category.

I have the same issue and Google Chrome even refuses to download the new RedisInsight-win.1.2.1 I reported that to RedisLabs Contact but have no news so far.

As a workaround I added RedisInsight 1.2.0 installation folder to the exclusion list of Windows Defender, then launch again the installer and hit repair, and it seems to do the trick. However I would not recommend that because I took an unknown risk by doing this.
