Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've known that some antivirus systems flag it as malicious for quite some time (see #181), but one of the links in the comments provided a great summary of why they do so: https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/beb047cb7583df66301493c613afe0d7bf6c62b5445eb38797b6fcf38d239afe/5e7cd780c49eaf4be46cde62

I'll mention it in the other issue, but I'll close this one since I'm not sure what we can do about it.

I emailed them, and they've now removed the warning. Thanks for reporting!

Seriously thanks a huge lot for reporting this @timharek, the last thing we want for the project is for it to be falsely seen as insecure or malware!
