Code::Blocks MinGW Windows Defender Trojan:Win32/Fuery.C!cl

I'm testing a simple "hello world" program in Code::Blocks 20.03 and MinGW (GCC Build-20200227-1 9.2.0, installed separately), but I got no message on console when running it:

enter image description here

At first I thought it was a compiler issue due to that "no target" in "no project" message, but then I realized the problem was Windows Defender blocking the .exe file, saying the program contains: Trojan:Win32/Fuery.C!cl

In this topic this issue was related before, but it seems it is happening again.

I've manually allowed the .exe file on my Windows Defender, and sent it to virustotal, which indeed pointed the threat from 29 engines:

Is it a known issue? What is the recomended action to solve this?

If you check virus total it's listed as a different name each time. It's just a false positive. I had the same problem and after enabling it in windows defender it ran fine in Atom/VsCode
