Windows Defender Quarantined ballroomdj.exe during installation. Researching online, others have reported the same issue. Is the file safe. I downloaded it from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ballro ... e/download
Looking forward to trying out BallroomDJ.

The BallroomDJ installation has no malware present.
It is safe to use.
Apparently this is a false positive from Windows Defender.
I was not able to re-create the issue under Windows 10, 32-bit or 64-bit.
