Tracked in #1003, follow there. That issue collects every report of antivirus false positives on the builder, and this one is linked from it with its GPU, version and log details. It is a false positive; the tracker says what you can do until the builder is signed. If it still happens on v2.0.6 (https://github.com/NotRexed/Hookshot/releases/tag/v2.0.6; Update next to Play in the launcher), please add a comment there with your hookshot_log.txt.
