Scanning the twitch-cli_1.1.5_Windows_x86_64.zip (or installing via scoop) Malwarebytes detects the latest v1.1.5 release as Spyware.PasswordStealer. Same file for release v1.1.3 has no detections.

Here are the results from VirusTotal - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f8d5d5b576b5e4223b810d63d3728ec907a17f50646f4d5c3d816e5289c58ff3/detection

Any idea why?

According to them, it should no longer be detecting locally, but is an issue with VirusTotal. Closing, but if you continue to see issues, please @ me.
