Yes I do believe it, false virus positivies have been plaguing me for a long time on my tracker clones.... I don't know what to say or what to do, because I simply can't change it. This program does nothing malicious to your computer, and if you were to compile the program from the git repo with Visual Studio 2019, you'd get a binary that also tests positive for "viruses".

And just think about it... why would I spend years making a clone of old trackers, just to put a virus in it? If I had evil intentions, this would be one of the least effective ways to target many people. This kind of stuff is frustrating, and it puts my tracker clones in a bad light. The 32-bit Windows version has many more false virus positives...

This issue should be fixed for now by not statically linking the C runtime (CRT). You can redownload it again from 16-bits.org.
