This is false positive and happens quite often. All we can do is to notify the antivirus companies of a false positive, so they whitelist the current release. Yet as soon as a new version comes out, the detections may appear again sad

For more information, here is an article about false positives in anti-malware software.

Sometimes you can find a solution faster if you try the forum search, have a look at the knowledge base, or check the software user manual to see if your question has already been answered.

Our forum rules are simple:

  • Be polite.
  • Do not spam.
  • Write in English. If possible, check your spelling and grammar.
