Virustotal: Jiangmin reports Trojan.Generic.huhqz for winmerge-2.16.52-x64-exe.zip

Virustotal antivirus Jiangmin reports Trojan.Generic.huhqz for winmerge-2.16.52-x64-exe.zip, see:

I'm not sure is it a real trojan or some antivirus issue or false-positive result.

Please check and fix if required.

Thanks!

I also checked previous version https://github.com/WinMerge/winmerge/releases/download/v2.16.48.2/winmerge-2.16.48.2-x64-exe.zip and it also has a Jiangmin: Trojan.Generic.huhqz result. So it is most probably rather an antivirus issue/false positive than your software, but check anyway if it is possible.

Thanks.

This issue has already been reported in #2817

We submitted a false positive report to Jiangmin, but have not received any response yet. We’ll try sending it again, in case it was sent to the wrong address.
