@aud03ele Notice above any topic, which you have probably seen, clearly says it's false positive.

"Please be aware that much of the software linked to or mentioned on this forum is niche and therefore infrequently downloaded. Lots of anti-virus scanners and so-called malware detectors like to flag infrequently downloaded software as bad until it is either downloaded enough times, or its developer actually bothers with getting each individual release allow listed by every single AV vendor. You can do many people a great favor when encountering such a "problem" example by submitting them to your AV vendor for examination. For almost everything on this forum, it is a false positive."

I voted +9 to the reputation of that file, however. You may also freely report it to any of the AV engines you wish, but none of the major ones I care about need reporting at this time. I also spotted who I think is Case voting on it, and it's his own pack. I added him to my trusted users on the VirusTotal community, so he should have slightly more clout now. I'll have even more if he adds me back.
