[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1129118, member: 31436"] It's clearly a false positive. It's now only detected by three antiviruses and they are all ones using AI detections. AI/ML based antiviruses give plenty of false positives. As well as that, it was first scanned at VirusTotal in February. If it was actually malicious, then other antiviruses would detect it, as samples uploaded to VT get shared with AV vendors. [/QUOTE]
