Thank you for sharing this information. It's crucial to always scan files with tools like VirusTotal before installing. It's recommended to not proceed with the installation of this file as it appears to be compromised. Always download software from trusted sources to avoid such issues.

In general, a lot of software from IObit are known for detection by certain AVs on VirusTotal.
Malwarebytes classified it as PUP what means no virus infection,
Dr.Web detection is most likely False Positive.
