malware warning when downloading foobar2000_v1.6.8_beta_6.exe with MS Edge

Hello there,
the subject sais it basically. I overrode it. Then I sent the file to virustotal.com, where two malware protection providers flagged it as ransomware / trojan.
virustotal result
I suppose this is a false positive, but wanted to make this known anyway.
cheers

You're not the first to report such a thing for an infrequently downloaded NSIS installer. And you probably won't be the last.
