Unfortunately, there is little I can do about this issue. You will just have to select actions/allow on device, as the message is saying to do. Antivirus will some times have false positives, this just means some part of the binary matches a pattern of some malware.

The detection may be modified by a known signature, did you import the published certificate before installing? I have been wanting to get a proper code signing certificate, but those are not free.

There does not appear to be any details about this named malware on microsofts site, so I do not really have much way of knowing what kind of code would trigger this.

This is just something that some times will affect open source tools with low user adoption, unfortunately.
