Prereq dxwebsetup Sophos - "Generic ML PUA"

[nighto]

It's almost certainly a false positive, but when running the prereq installer, Sophos complaint about file dxwebsetup.exe with the error "Generic ML PUA". Just sharing if someone else stumbles on this error.

The dxwebsetup included isn't digitally signed. Proper dxwebsetup is. So assuming legitimacy it predates when Microsoft was digitally signing it. And it downloads stuff from Web which is pretty trojan-like behavior without having a trust-base from a digital signature. As a download, I'd use the all-in-one file too, not an auto-downloader.
