Perhaps it thinking that your file using dangerous (imports/sections, etc) Win API or something like that

I get this as well, but only 1 out of 50+ AV vendors flag a problem, so I consider it a false positive. Also, when a virus is reported, it is a "generic" detection, not a specific virus. So the AV vendor is basically saying "I don't like the look of this, it is trying to hide something". In your scenario, what gets detected by whom?
