[1] - http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.5

Just want to get a confirmation it is likely a false positive:

Windows 10 (Windows Defender/Security) flags the installer (seamonkey-2.53.5.en-US.win64.installer.exe) to contain "Potentially Unwanted Software": PUA:Win32/Caypnamer.A!ml

Are others on Windows 10 getting this?

Donwloaded again and compared with the one I did get directly from the build server. 100% identical. After building I installed it in several of my Windows 10 vms and two laptops without Windows defender making even a little beep. Has now been a few days ago but looks like a 99.99999% false positive.

SHA256: fb546afd5d674e69a717a2d742c7b507c585a818ce2f025637d49da917d0be0c *seamonkey-2.53.5.en-US.win64.installer.exe

The SHA256 sum I'm getting locally is the just the same but I'm getting the threat flag consistently.  Anyway I'm going to ignore it. Thanks for providing additional insurance for it.  Windows Defender seems very obscure on what and how it's doing.

Is there a way to report its false positive since it's new and not a popular file? I remember when Norton did this too in the past.

Not seeing an option here:

I've been previously presented with such an option – to indicate online (on some Microsoft site) I'm trusting the source of a particular application which is unknown (and not digitally signed) to some Microsoft online screening service (don't remember the name but it's built-in to Windows).

It says exe.part. Not sure if the rename to .exe failed when you downloaded the version and this is the problem you see.
