good, sorry if you have already been asked about this, I have tried to inform me I can not find anything.

My problem is when I download Malwarebytes it detects your downloaded file as a virus:
-MachineLearning/Anomalous.100% (Ad-Aware).

Looking on google it is said to be a bitcoin trojan and mining, my question is the following, is it a false positive or is it true about the virus?

PD: If possible could you resubmit the clean file? Sorry my bad english.

I was asking because according to virustotal the malwarebytes database detects it as a trojan, I was just asking if it's true.

If only one from few tens AVs whines then I assume the answer is obvious.

Has nothing to do with mining. It says machine learning! Meaning they fed an "ai" a dataset, and this is dissimilar to any legitimate software they have fed it. [because this is a niche project not a common software.]
Next time search up and report false positives to the av developer https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/42-file-detections/
They would then investigate whether it is malicious or not, and would then whitelist, or tell the overall av community, where then all would mark it, if it's open source, they would also state the offending code...

I think false positives is problem of users of such AV, not my. So it is obvious who needs to report.

Thank you very much for not getting angry and for answering me with quite reasonable arguments, forgive me for having doubted, I want to try this program and nowadays you can hardly trust it on the internet, so I hope I have not offended you, I will try the program because you gave me confidence.

PD: Very thanks LordOfMice and Chaython, forgive my ignorance. (Sorry my bad english)
