Multiple users have complained about (false-positives of) Trojans reported via a scan of the FxSound .exe's through VirusTotal.com #16

All versions of the FxSound installer from v1.1.14.0 up to v1.1.20.0 came back with one or more Trojan reports, except for v1.1.16.0: One detection by NANO-Antivirus every time, and one detection by Rising for v1.1.14.0 and v1.1.15.0 only. NANO-Antivirus was contacted and confirmed the most recent Trojan report for v1.1.20.0 was a false positive. Since FxSound is not malicious software, it should be noted that this is not an actual bug on FxSound's behalf, but rather an error on behalf of certain antivirus programs running through VirusTotal.com.

Well, I don't know if it's a false positive, but I have to say that I don't think the Windows Store version has it, and the most recent ones... I don't know, I'd like to think not, but then, why doesn't the Windows Store version update? It must go through some kind of check process first and it doesn't? Maybe? Today I downloaded the latest installer and I haven't installed it out of fear, it keeps detecting a Trojan, it would be a good idea to check it.
