It is a false positive I assure you as can many others.

Use VirusTotal to Get More Opinions

If you download a file and your antivirus jumps into action and informs you the file is harmful, it probably is. If you’ve run into a false positive and the file is actually safe, most other antivirus programs shouldn’t make the same mistake. In other words, if this is a false positive, only a few antivirus programs should flag the file as dangerous, while most should say it’s safe. That’s where VirusTotal comes in — it lets us scan a file with 45 antivirus programs so we can see what they all think of it.

Head to the VirusTotal website and upload the suspect file or enter an URL where it can be found online. They’ll automatically scan the file with a wide variety of different antivirus programs and tell you what each says about the file.

If most antivirus programs say there’s a problem, the file is probably malicious. If only a few antivirus programs have a problem with the file, it may well be a false positive — this doesn’t guarantee the file is actually safe, it’s just a piece of evidence to consider.
