Latest win wallet gets some warnings on Virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/5e1c5a70d321befe73c169e74d47e3f0194fe09ce5d50f77025dd34e2ede2df9/analysis/

Is it safe to install it?

I'm pretty sure "BitCoinMiner" is the false positive that I've seen get flagged on many different currencies.

Indeed, the only Positive is because you can use the wallet to mine - setgenerate true -

I believe whoever the antivirus company is just has something against bitcoin because all of the other antivirus programs dont have any issues with the code.

Good choice to double check first tho. If you ever have any issue with POP related to a virus or anything of the sort, please contact me ASAP.

Thank you, and Enjoy!

There's at least one or two actual pieces of malware out there that infect computers to use them to mine BTC, so the antivirus company is probably just being overly zealous in detecting them.  Of course, it's never a bad idea to install wallet applications in a VM but I'm not too worried here.  Smiley
