DO NOT take my word for anything said here. Please make your own judgement decision even though I'm a maintainer.
This is a false positive from a singular vendor on VirusTotal that's likely very aggressive. Your antivirus as such is likely also being aggressive. Many applications depending what they do get flagged by specific aggressive vendors for various reasons. There is "nothing" we can do to really correct them.
