It was a thing called "MaxSecure" in the case of the Tools which sounds like a machine learning one.Yeah but which one flagged that? If it's one of the machine learning or otherwise private AVs VirusTotal has, the report is almost guaranteed to be a false positive when it's standalone.
Edit: Also, I should have read what you responded to, thought they were talking about download from OP rather than an attachment. It's worth noting that any homemade exe that doesn't have a broad presence on computers will trip antivirus scanners. Even innocuous behavior like saving a settings file in appdata unprompted will get flagged as trojans and/or potentially unwanted programs.
And I repeat that I do not have any viruses running and have been using these tools myself.
I think I see what's tripping it. It's the very same thing that trips things up about Ren'Py - the presence of multiple .exe files and some .dll files.
But it could also be the .lnk file.VirusTotal said:Contained Files By Type
