Hi, why does Windows Defender say: "Program:Win32/Wacapew.A!ml" ?
Is there a trojan?

No, there are no trojans in NetWorx. Windows Defender is notorious for false detections and repeated erroneous flagging of safe applications.

The most effective thing you can do is to submit the detected file to Microsoft for re-evaluation. This should prompt them to correct their mistake and reclassify NetWorx as clean and safe.
