For Windows users who frequently use the TorBrowser, there's been a pressing concern. Recent versions of the TorBrowser, specifically because of the tor.exe file it contained, were being flagged as potential threats by Windows Defender.
Modern AV detection is very heuristic based, so it could be almost anything from “this kind of looks like a Trojan we’ve seen before” to “it’s not been downloaded with Edge very much.”
I wonder what part of the browser made Microsoft flag it as malware to begin with

I’d love to know the real reason too
