Is the Windows binary pointed to by this link infected?

sgminer-5.0-pre-release-1-win32.zip

Bitdefender reports a virus/threat in the zip file downloaded ... Gen:Variant.Application.BitCoinMiner.11

I've not had a virus warning from any of the other versions that have been optimized for x13 that I have downloaded so far.

*update* - link is no longer active at 18:47 BST


@NiceHash - can we have a dev statement about the probable infection and an update on progress please?

A lot of miners trigger a bitcoinminer virus response in a lot of virus scanners. It's because miners can be installed on infected systems to make them mine for malicious people.
