Someone else has reported similar.
Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and install the program and then see how WD reacts when you restart back to normal mode.
It's definitely a false positive as I updated mine this morning and Norton Security didn't bat an eyelid.
My Norton security went through a phase where it was kicking out the .exe and I had to put
www.tweaking.com
in as an exclusion.
If necessary, you may have to do the same for WD until its Definitions move on.
I assume you are using Win 10 -

Kaspersky reported Windows Repair generated a temp file right after I chose "Reboot to Safe Mode"
