Pre-release versions triggering Trend Micro Apex One - do pre-releases feature telemetry?

[adfhogan]

When attempting to launch pre-release version 20200408.1, I get a warning from Trend Micro Apex One:

This error does not happen with the release version 20190513.14 - the fact there's a target pointing back to what looks kinda like github suggests that perhaps the pre-releases are trying to phone home with some telemetry? Is this the case?

Is a release version coming soon?

Yikes - no telemetry. I think that target is the URL you downloaded it from, I'm guessing this is just because Trend Micro does not recognise the binary and it isn't signed?

Hey Ben, thanks for getting back to me.. Ok, I'll take it up with the infosec folks on my side.

@adfhogan Just wondering if you figured out what was going on here?

#38 may be related

I'm going to close this in favour of #38 to track the false detection issue.
