Shellcheck: Safety issues?

[super-vip]

For bugs

• Rule Id (if any, e.g. SC1000):
• My shellcheck version (shellcheck --version or "online"):
• [ ] The rule's wiki page does not already cover this (e.g. https://shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2086)
• [ ] I tried on shellcheck.net and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit

For new checks and feature suggestions

• [ ] shellcheck.net (i.e. the latest commit) currently gives no useful warnings about this
• [ ] I searched through https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues and didn't find anything related

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

Here's what shellcheck currently says:

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

Same thing happening to me since early today.

Running scoop virustotal shellcheck results in 1/64 (Microsoft, Trojan:Win32/Fuery.C!cl).

However, IMHO, this looks as a false-positive.

I received the same message today when I ran my Windows system

It says its a trojan horse and it's dangerous, as you can see I installed spellcheck using chocolatey

This has happened on my system also, with Shellcheck 0.7.1 on Windows 10 1909.

and Microsoft does not longer report the Trojan for the https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/download/v0.7.1/shellcheck-v0.7.1.zip

Here is another scan which is green too https://metadefender.opswat.com/results#!/url/aHR0cHM6Ly9naXRodWIuY29tL2tvYWxhbWFuL3NoZWxsY2hlY2svcmVsZWFzZXMvZG93bmxvYWQvdjAuNy4xL3NoZWxsY2hlY2stdjAuNy4xLnppcA==/overview

However, the file downloaded locally is reported as infected for me too
