A PSA to all, Check where you get your installers from. This reddit user found that someone could have changed a link in the Chia Team’s github to install malware. https://www.reddit.com/r/chia/comments/n90s9q/virus_warnings_after_installing_chia_114/
I get the official Binary from this page: https://download.chia.net/?prefix=install/
Edit: Looks like this affected the 1.1.4 installer only? More research needed.

Thanks for letting everybody know.
How they let anybody edit the wiki without a need for approval is hard to understand though.
I saw this coming a long time ago, editable URLs to software on a public wiki - what could go wrong?
wth, this was publicly editable? I am not familiar enough with github… holy shit, why would they link this on a public wiki page!?!
people are really ruthless to do something like this we live in a world of hacking it’s getting worse and worse
