Windows defender says Monero GUI wallet is malware

When I try to install and run it Windows defender deletes it and says it’s malware. Is Monero wallet safe??

If your installed the executable from the official site then you got nothing to worry about.

Just to add a little detail here, yes you’re safe as long as you acquired the installer from here.

Windows will flag it because it thinks it is a crypto miner (which it actually is/can be, just not a malicious one since it is your crypto miner).
