[QUOTE="Malleable, post: 1027773, member: 90907"] TLDR: I personally would have installed the driver. I've checked back on VirusTotal weekly just to calibrate my thinking from a couple of years ago. Yesterday VT had the file as 12/70 positives from 11/70. I didn't screenshot the original results so I guess it's most likely a newcomer with their antennae set to err on the side of caution. While some big boys (IMO) like Malwarebytes, Palo Alto Networks, Symantec, Fortinet, and Google flagged the file the other better known engines haven't. VT to me has always been an interpretive process sometimes taking minutes - hours for more engines to flag a file or filter their false positives and sometimes days (usually no more than one or two). This isn't a common dl likely with less people reporting a false positive so to me a week long wait was overkill but at that point I personally would have installed the driver. One VT option I never noticed is the middle of the three icons at the top right, the circular arrow, reanalyzes the file to update the results. [/QUOTE]
