electrum.org file is not safe! it contains a trojan!
I received the same error on my electrum wallet 3.3.2, but instead of downloading from the link, I went to download the new .exe installer for windows on electrum.org website.
As soon as I downloaded it, windows defender showed me an error of a trojan on the file.
Not sure what to do, if I leave the previous version Im exposed to phishing, but if I download the new version from the electrum.org website I get a trojan warning message from windows defender.
Any updates on this?
It is a false positive... For some reason (shitty heuristics), a number of antivirus applications detect programs that use PyInstaller as having trojans... I think it is because a number of viruses/malware apps use PyInstaller... so the antivirus incorrectly marks ALL apps that use it as being trojans I received the same error on my electrum wallet 3.3.2, but instead of downloading from the link, I went to download the new .exe installer for windows on electrum.org website.

If you downloaded from https://electrum.org/#download and follow the instructions here: https://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-verify-an-electrum-download-on-windows/
And the digital signature checks out OK, you can be confident that you have a legitimate copy of Electrum and that it is safe. Ignore Windows Defender, it is a shit antivirus.
