Thanks for reporting. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml on HookshotBuilder.exe is the known false positive tracked in #1003. Please also read the pinned security notice #1307: download Hookshot only from this repository's Releases, and check the SHA-256 against the release's hookshot-setup.txt. Closing this as a duplicate of #1003.
