Hello Reza_Ameri-Archived ,
Thanks very much for your answer.
The name of the software is "t2ws.exe".
In fact I already uploaded it to MS Security Intelligence, but their answer was:
"Analyst comments:
The submitted files do not meet our criteria for detection. No detection will be added for these files."
It is detected as a Trojan:MSIL/Masslogger.VN!MTB
But this is a software which is in placed on our web site for years, this is just a new version and our users are ok with it. It is a wrong Trojan detection by MS.
How could I progress on that?
Thanks!

Try update Windows Defender and run scan again and see whether it is still being detected?
If yes, try contact Microsoft Support.

In fact after the update it is the same scenario: Windows defender blocks it as a troyan
What do you mean by Microsoft Support? There are many... it's difficult to contact the right team
