Description
This is related to #2613.
ref: https://researchcenter.paloaltonetworks.com/2015/06/keybase-keylogger-malware-family-exposed/
There is a named malware family called KeyBase. I suspect it's possible this is why Trend Micro is "aggressively" treating it as malware and deleting installers.
I don't know what a possible fix might be.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #2613 and the linked Palo Alto Networks research about the KeyBase malware family. Verify whether Trend Micro's installer deletion is caused by the name collision; done means confirming the cause and documenting an actionable remediation.
