Brave is a series scam company.
Bitdefender is not a Microsoft product
No, it's a false positive. Exclude it.
It's a known false positive. I can't speculate as to why it still hasn't been fixed but your suspicion might be correct. Who knows.
don't use Brave.
Yes its a decent piece of software made by some properly smart industry experts but I have zero faith in them on a personal trust level. The CEO (despite his amazing resume and past accomplishments) is an arsehole, a bigot, a crypto-scammer and a science denier.
Bitdefender fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software, very dangerous. I would fix this before your web browser or any other app.
