Windows Defender is fairly false positive heavy, I usually disable it in 
favor of Avast.

The problem relates to dmd and Optlink, they are old coding style and 
very obvious what they are doing (code generation) which is usually not 
a good thing.

Alternately you can just exclude it from a set directory[0] which I also 
do for Avast (why would I wait for it to scan programs that I COMPILED!).
