For those still calling this a scam and that haven't seen this quote:

“We're using the Litecoin Cash name simply because it has become customary in recent months for a coin which forks a blockchain to prefix its name with the name of the coin being forked. This practice has become a widely understood convention. We're not associated or affiliated with Charlie Lee or any of the Litecoin team in any way; we are big fans though.”


P.S. I believe it's the Bitcoin Core wallet that sets off antivirus', probably an older forked version that was modified but never updated for the fix (if there even exists one, I haven't looked ...)
