Was looking at an MSI file today and again found a right click scan with latest updates flags the file as safe but an VT scan detects the file. I still wonder why?

The testing modalities used by VT have become increasingly gloopy as of late, with the results being a bit detached from reality. An example would be the malware that you present, which although seemingly ignored by F-Secure will in reality will be detected and deleted even prior to running it. On the downside M Defender tends to have positive results on VT where the actual execution of the file will end in tears.
And currently we have junk results like for this one: VirusTotal
Although this initial VT result seems bleak indeed, actually everyone and their pet iguana detects it (love the company name that signed it!).
Hope that helped.

This same file crashed Wise Vector. Just by it being detected and telling the program to fix it. Had to do a hard shutdown. When I first posted the file, only 10 detected it. Now 34 do.
