More likely the file is unsigned so windows throws that warning. Even the MS site doesn't explain what vigua.a is.
That’s right, being unsigned is one reason the file triggers warnings.
To add context, PUA:Win32/Vigua.A isn’t a specific virus but a generic Microsoft Defender label for Potentially Unwanted Applications.
It often shows up on patchers and similar tools because of the way they modify other software, so in this case it’s most likely a false positive.
