Windows Defender detect Emsisoft Emergency Kit temp files in EEK folder located at Appdata Local as a threat during Emsisoft scan. Does anyone have this problem? I already reported to Microsoft, but they still haven't fixed it yet. The detection name is Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.A

If I perform a custom scan with everything check except use file extensions and use direct disk access then Windows Defender will detect some temp files in the temp folder at Appdata Local which belongs to Emsisoft Emergency Kit as a threat during Emsisoft scan. I can't restore the file from the quarantined because Windows Defender automatically removed this false positive detection files.
