Where did you download the binary, what is the checksum/hash of the binary, what is the virus scanner?

I guess the answer is that its not a known false positive... so likely was an actual issue. hm.

unfortunately i deleted the files so can't confirm the checksums.

The virus scanner is https://www.intego.com/virusbarrier-scanner
