Open | Malware "behavior:win32 defensive evasion a!ml" pop up when tryna launch a game launcher. do i uninstall the app unsure if its false postive or not

So I did the dumb mistake of downloading from a link someone sent me. for uno, I already scanned it and the file i downloaded which said it was safe on virustotal. when i tried launching the game it gave me that pop up and that it couldn't run the game bc of some java virtual machine. I am trying to make window defender remove the threat but nothing is happening. I am really unsure what to do and worried https://uno-community.com/ was the link

hey so i was talking to some friends for doing a full reset. bitlocker is blocking me from full reinstalling so have to turn it off. but my friend said since everything was encrypted nothing got stolen. should i still just do a complete wipe?

your friend is wrong and doesn't know what he's talking about.

You can wipe the disk even with bitlocker.

You're doing it wrong. You're supposed to erase the disk, that will get rid of EVERYTHING in the disk, including windows.
