False malware detection

Good evening,

My Windows 10 keeps identifying a perfectly legitimate program, Praat, as malware. Praat has been used by linguists and others that desire sonograms of human speech for decades. It is some of the best software available on any platform for acoustic analysis research. https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/ 

Please have Windows 10 stop falsely identifying it as part of a Bearfoos.B!ml trojan.

Cheers,

Reuben M. Closson
