Chrome is detecting this as a virus. image

Also Sophos is saying that the file is a virus and is cleaning it automatically. Might want to check it.

It's not just sophos that's flagging the file as malicious. Chrome is as well.

Windows defender also says that it's malicious

Yeah, I know. So...? Complain to the stupid AV vendors with their intelligent 'heuristic' which do false positive reports, not to the author.

You can try to submit false positive report to even more AV-vendors that flag it and check for their reaction. install.cmd script adds exclusion to Windows Defender for this reason. Submitting a whitelist request to all AV vendors on every loader update is too much work and some AV vendors don't even react, but maybe they will react to your requests, good luck!
