Workstation Pro 16.1 identified as Trojan Win32/Ymacco.AA32 and Win32/Ymacco.AA0F by WindowsDefender

Hello, yesterday I downloaded and installed Workstation Pro from the official VMWare website and activated the free trial period.

Today Windows Defender, while doing a full system scan, flagged as trojan some files that were in the VMware installation directory (InstallerCache, SetupBrowser and some .cab files, but also EFI32.ROM and 1e1d33.msi). I also have Malwarebytes installed and it didn't flagged any suspicious file. A subsequent scan with Microsoft Safety scanner also showed no infected files.

Is it possible that those files were detected as false positives or should I start to worry about the safety of my system?

(I can add photos with the full scan results if that can help)
