On [1] I see:

"NOTE: On December 6, 2016, an incorrect detection for our cloud-based 
protection for Trojan:Win32/Peals.A!cl was identified and immediately 
fixed. To ensure that this issue is remediated, you can do a forced 
daily update to download your Microsoft antimalware and antispyware 
software. For details, see Updating your Microsoft antimalware and 
antispyware software."

John, could you try to update and then check again ?
