Microsoft Defender calls Nodelink a "severe" threat

In the overnight automatic virus scan, MS Defender quarantined Nodelink, calling it a "severe" threat. See attached screenshot, and below is what I got when I clicked "Learn more"

I don't actually use nodelink anymore but thought I would mention it here.

False positive.  Don't believe it, don't use it.  That version is also very old.

Just add it to the virus scanner ignore list.
