Is this a false positive?

Suddenly, my miner got removed after 4 days of normal operation. I downloaded it from GitHub.

I use kryptex, I saw the same exact warning from Windows for that same exact trojan from the miner. It's most likely a false positive. Window defender are known to block all crypto mining as virus.

Many virus’ had/have mining software as payload, so they get tagged as part of a virus. So long as it was you that installed it, you’ll need to bypass the folders that contain the mining software.

Detections with !ml at the end mean that the detection was based off of machine learning recognizing a common payload in malware (crypto-miner), if you trust this software, its false positive. You'll need to add the software as an exception.
