I just run EEK i press the Update button and after a minute Windows Defender alert me about malware.
Any idea?

It seem like Windows Defender detected one of BitDefender signature file as a threat. This detection is false positive, no need to worry about it.
 
You sure?
I see it is a Bitdefender definitions and I know that WD have very little FP so I'm a little surprised.

It doesn't like BitDefender's update file, that's not good.
 
WD rarely has a false +ve, are the checksum of the file same as BDs?
EDIT:
Checked the link. MS considered it as FP.
