Remember that the reason AV companies flag bitcoin wallets is because they can't (or maybe don't want to) tell the different between an actual wallet and a desktop cryptominer. If it did quarantine the wallet program just whitelist it, the AV won't pester you anymore.
Mining software isn't malware either, though.
In fact, I would suggest someone put together a list of affected projects (BFGMiner has had this problem for years) for reporting as safe...
