Pearson's OnVue exam client is reported as containing a virus

Question

Today from my Windows 10 computer I did the Pearson VUE online CCP exam. It involved downloading and installing Pearson's OnVUE-3.6.41.exe client. Windows Defender reported it as containing a virus called "Casdet!rfn". See attached Defender report.  
  
Is this a known false positive ?  
  
If it is indeed infected then this is big issue particularly because Pearson asks the exam taker to first disable any anti-virus software.
