ZipExtractor.exe is part of AutoUpdater.NET, the library we use for automatic updates, so it is very likely that the trojan is a false positive. The version of ZipExtractor shipped with the most up-to-date version of AutoUpdater.NET is no longer flagged as malicious on virustotal, so this hopefully will not happen again: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a76c4d20c78a6b0e563567a215e14a05525c316bf4eb92e7d11de7e24ae0b7c2
