Suddenly while listening, MS Security Essential deletes Streamwriter, and does not let me install it again, the install file is immediately removed.
In the log of Security essentials, it says that streamwriter is a dangerous Trojan:

Trojan: Win32/Peals.A!cl

and refers to this page: https://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aWin32%2fPeals.A!cl&threatid=2147690472&enterprise=0

What is going on?

What about this?

NOTE: On December 6, 2016, an incorrect detection for our cloud-based protection for Trojan:Win32/Peals.A!cl was identified and immediately fixed. To ensure that this issue is remediated, you can do a forced daily update to download your Microsoft antimalware and antispyware software. For details, see Updating your Microsoft antimalware and antispyware software.

Thanks Alex
Yes now I updated the definitions in MS Essentials, and I could reinstall Streamwriter.

That "NOTE" was not yet present on the MS website when I looked at it yesterday, probably because I checked it immediately after Essentials started deleting Streamwriter, and before they realized their mistake.
Luckily now all is OK:-)

Hallo, dies ist ein häufiges Problem für Dateien mit der Erweiterung .exe.
Versuchen Sie den Schutz vorübergehend deaktivieren, oder fügen Sie in den "Ausnahmen" Ihre Datei StreamWriter. Verwenden Sie dieses Programm zum Schutz Ihres Computers http://linkmailer.de/viren/amisites
