False positive or not, a detection ratio of 46/67 on VirusTotal is a problem. It cannot be downloaded in Chrome nor in Firefox unless you force it. Even then, it does not stay long because it will be nuked by practically any decent antivirus.

If you manage to unzip it, the main offender seems upx-ssf.exe (VT detection ratio: 34/71): UPX compression is popular among malware: https://www.esecurityplanet.com/threats/upx-compression-detection-evasion/

All of the executables get high VT detection ratios.
