After uninstalling B4A, if I try to check the installer I get no error, but when trying to install it again, I'm getting the message:

so I cannot even install it back.

Download a fresh copy of b4a.
If you still get a warning it could either be a false alarm or your machine may already be compromised, so try a more thorough scanning (try housecall online scan from trendmicro)

As stated in my post, the installer is not flagged as infected, only the application executable (B4A.exe). I allowed the file in Defender and now is working, but I want to be sure is not something else. Checked my system several times and no other issues found, except B4A.exe. Checking B4A.exe file on virustotal.com I get Undetected from all engines. Only with the today Defender update I get the warning.

The B4A.exe file is digitally signed. You can check it by right clicking on the file.



It isn't possible to modify the file while keeping the digital signature (and there is of course no virus in the unmodified B4A.exe file).

Today a new update for Windows Defender was installed. Scanned again and no issues this time.
