It happens every now and then, there are other tickets. I don't know what to do, it's a false-positive 99%. Often trying a different version makes it detect differently in different scanners. Anti-viruses are weird. :|

I can't really help you with that. Don't know enough about AV's. Maybe you can contact these AV vendors and ask them.

Running unsigned executables is often considered bad practice and a lot of organizations won't allow running unsigned executables on their systems. So this is a major problem and signing them would help.

Yeah, that I know. We definitely need to do that, it's just been a pain whenever i tried it. :|
