That's average of open sourced software, please see the note when download.

Note that the application is not signed, so it could be flagged as malware.

You should add the program to Exclusive. If dont trust it's safe, please build the app from source.

I'm sorry, I missed this information while downloading the software. I trust that this software is safe, and it would be even better if the false positive virus detection issue could be resolved.
