1st known, 2nd virustotal.com shows 1/66 and never heard that antivirus name. Compile from source if you don't believe the dev. He should probably submit it to Microsoft to unflag it.
Dupes of #51 #84 #358

The setup might look dangerous to some AV's because it's packed as a 7zip archive with an unpack payload - like other applications too. At the moment there's nothing we can do to solve the problem.

In additional the only false positive result is from "Bkav". I never heard of the company but if you have problems with your AV, you can submit a false positive report. Many AV's support some sort of submission to report viruses or false positives.

I tested it with the latest firefox setup for windows and it has a 100% threat score.
