I know this is most likely a false positive but wanted to report it anyway. Windows Defender detects it as:

Trojan:Win32/ScarletFlash.A

Link to VirusTotal scan.

v2.2 did not have this issue.

Wow, that's weird. Thanks for reporting it. It may have something to do with tweaker modifying in-game memory values... I'm not sure. 
It is a false positive of course, tweaker always was and always will be virus/trojan free.

Yeah I'm a bit surprised that earlier versions weren't flagged due to the memory modifying. With the latest Defender definitions it's quarantined and flagged as a severe threat:

Trojan:Win32/AgentTesla

If possible you might want to report it as a false positive and submit the file to Microsoft for analysis.

Happy to report that it is no longer detected as a threat by Windows Defender and is working as expected 🙂
