Of all the exes I have built and uploaded I have had one customer tell me he got a virus warning when he ran the program. There was no virus of course but the virus scanner he used saw something it did not like.
Perhaps it is the server you are using or perhaps there is something about your program that causes it to be flagged when it has been downloaded.
Have you done a byte comparison of the .exe uploaded to that downloaded - as you say that Defender is OK with the version before uploading. It's possible that the hosting site is 'manipulating' the .exe in some way.
Wow after reading all that, I have to wonder why folks expect 22+ year old programs to keep running forever.
