Description
The Add-in Loader fails to initialize due to ExcelDna.Integration.dll getting flagged as malware by Windows Defender

Issue does not affect previous versions of ExcelDna.
The problem started happening today with the latest Windows Defender updates. I have reported this to Microsoft as a false positive already, but this is likely going to bite other ExcelDNA users here!
