This conversation has spawned two different issues, conflated here.

The issue with false positives was raised by Tom Glod, and I've seen 
that once in a while too.

But the issue with Windows Defender is very different.  Defender isn't 
preventing LC from running at all, or (at least as far as anyone has 
reported to date) even flagging it as a false positive.  Instead, it 
merely slows down execution.  And if we search around on the web see a 
great many apps affected similarly.

False positives I can understand.  Inexplicable slowdowns are the big 
mystery.
