Bitdefender: installer detected as trojan

[arch7]

Describe the bug The windows installer file win-x64-setup.zip is detected "as infected with Trojan.Generic.35566094" by Bitdefender total security. The same happens for win-x64.zip. Tested with multiple random versions:

• latest v1.26.173 triggers the AV (linux zip file does not trigger the AV)
• v1.26.167 does not trigger the AV
• v1.26.146 does not trigger the AV
• v1.26.64-alpha does not trigger the AV
• v1.26.77-alpha does not trigger the AV
• 1.24 does not trigger the AV (tested a couple of random versions)
• 1.25 does not trigger the AV up to v1.25.161 (tested some random versions)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. download the installer file
2. open the installler
3. Bitdefender is triggered and deletes the file

Expected behavior It should not be detected as trojan

Version:

• OS: Windows 10 v19045.4046
• AV: Bitdefender total security Build 27.0.30.140
• Irony Version [e.g. 1.5.48]

It's a false positive and running around various AVs to whitelist each version is not something I have time for. Feel try to submit as a false positive. When an AV says it'a generic something it thinks something is a virus but not sure.

Could be that these things don't like the component which talks to steam to ensure that steam is actually running before attempting to run a steam game. Source is available you can review what it does otherwise don't know what to tell you.
