Good afternoon, 

I want to confirm the screenshot is a false positive? 

I just ran my daily full scan after installing MCE yesterday for p3dv4.

Affirmative. False positive.

Happens every now and then, sometimes other exe as well.

<Removed sensitive information>

Because anti-virus cannot perform static analysis on the files, they just assume could be malware, even though they are digitally signed. We can understand when this happens with a file of "unknown publisher".

My advice is to upload the file to http://www.virustotal.com

They'll submit it to 71 different AV packages.

There will always be 3 to 6 of them that will report some sort of Trojan, but the vast majority won't.

If you get more than 10 complaining, do let us know so we can generate another exe and upload new package. Sometimes, it's all it takes to make it pass with same AV that complained before.

Thank you
