Thanks, though we can't do much about it, except for contacting the antivirus vendor and asking them to resolve the incorrect detection. Sometimes they act promptly, especially when quite a few users send them a message.
In the meantime, if the warning is a concern, it's possible to install NetWorx without the driver or use the portable version in which it's not included.
