MS Defender and Trojans

Pretty sure this is a false positive, but MS Defender reports /Applications/CrossOver.app/Contents/SharedSupport/CrossOver/lib/wine/i386-windows/wbemprox.dll as being a Trojan. Naturally, because Microsoft, there are no in-app ways to just restore the file, although you can try whitelisting it (which currently hangs Defender).

I've taken a look at https://support.codeweavers.com/troubleshooting/antivirus-software-eg-bitdefender-avast-and-avg-and-crossover which seems to be a guide for whitelisting 🤣 but I wonder how we might get MSFT and Codeweavers in touch so MSFT can update their database?

Defender claims this is 100% a virus because it's compared it against a database 🤣 but it feels more likely they've just false positive'd on this one.
