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.

### Environment

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.26100.7623
System Architecture: X64
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.27.350.0

Start with the Wakatime.DesktopWakatime package and its v2.1.7 installer URL from the issue, then reproduce `winget install Wakatime.DesktopWakatime` on Windows 11. Review the package metadata and Defender or VirusTotal result; done means the package status and the rationale for any update or removal are documented.
