Sophos Antivirus is Marking Your Extension as Ransomware

[intellisoftwaremx]

I install this extension on my Visual Code in my Mac and my Sophos Antivirus is alerting me that this program is Ransomware Malware. See the screenshot.

Do i need to remove it from my VCode?

Hello,

That is a false positive finding.

No other antivirus flagged this particular binary https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5c178c4db860127a7fbbf547fcbc4da97bf8585dc5351c0ed96ffb3b0b4d10c3/detection

Could you please contact Sophos support team, so they can fix this false positive?

Thank you!
