Description
### Please confirm these before moving forward
- [x] I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
- [x] I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.
### Category of the issue
Installation issue.
### Brief description of your issue
This package was flagged by windows defender as Trojan:Win32/Vigorf.A. I ran it through virustotal.com and 15/58 engines flagged it including Google, Sophos, and Trend Micro.
### Steps to reproduce
`winget install Wakatime.DesktopWakatime` on windows 11.
### Actual behavior
I get a popup saying that it was blocked by windows defender and am unable to install the package.
### Expected behavior
If this is a virus, I expected it to flag it as it did. If it actually is a virus, it shouldn't be on winget. I suggest contacting the maintainers of the package.
