Jon, did you even read the message you are respondng to? @iris2205 is not using a local AV. the executable was run through VirusTotal's online scanner where, for me, 7 of the AV checks came up with a positive. OTOH, 64 AV checks came up negative and 4 came up with unable to process file.

I also opened the file locally in a sandboxed session and it did not do anything that looked suspicious. OTOH, some malware detects such sessions and remains inactive.

Personally, I would say the file is safe to use. False positives are a PITA but they are also going to happen.
