It's down to 9 scanners showing a red flag now, as far as I can tell. And, they are mostly calling it "Trojan.Generic" which is "A generic detection has identified a program or file with code or behavior similar to trojans" (https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-java-generic.shtml). So, these companies have some heuristic and they have no accountability for false positives.

Sorry but I don't think I can do anything about this. I'm pretty sure it's not malicious, and absent some plausible analysis showing that it is malicious it's not worth my time to investigate. And I don't know what I could do anyway, given the lack of detail shared by these red flags.

Also, feel free to examine the source and build it from source, although you probably won't get a matching binary because the CLR has moved on.
