  • Hi, 

    Thanks for your post. 

    It is possible for WinLNK detections to be false positives.
    WinLNK files are typically shortcut files and while they can be used maliciously, not all WinLNK files are malware.
     
    This isn't something we'd review but if you have an in internal security team, off the back of it being flagged that's probably worth raising with them. 
    Kind regards
