Viruses detected in binary files by Google Chrome and Windows Defender

Google Chrome refuses to download binary files from nightly link (it detects viruses). Windows Defender is detecting the same. False positive?

I think that for software that has not passed Windows authentication (aka recharging to Microsoft), as long as the wpcap.dll in the system library is used, it will be recognized as a Trojan by the operating system.

To avoid false positives, two versions are provided for Windows. win7 version will use the wpcap.dll and the default version which will use the built-in libpcap. The latter one will not cause false positives on my computer.
