Windows Security reporting a virus in my Power BI Desktop cache

[ivan_wilson]

I'm running Windows 10 version 1909 and Power BI Desktop. Yesterday, Windows Security reported that it discovered the virus BAT/Ballicus.A in a file on my computer. The file is located in:

C:\Users\my_user_name\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop Store App\Cache\Index\DF7D34CB6A6617EF.idx

I can see that the file is 98 bytes, but the Windows anti virus is preventing me from copying or opening it. However, it is similar to the other 30,000 files in the same directory. I'm assuming this is a false positive. Has anyone else seen similar behaviour?
