All of which is exactly why I said "(however you do that with VirusTotal)" but I guess it wasn't funny/clear enough. I find using VirusTotal a complete waste of time, and appears to be primarily used by folks that won't run a good quality AV product to catch things in real time. I download FAR too much to manually visit that each time... but it may work for other folks.

Many thanks for your support. I really know that VirusTotal is "just" an aggregator. For this reason I use it (sometimes) as last chance to check something new. On my Windows 11 23h2, I use the awesome Windows Defender as a real time antivirus.

I think that the antivirus aggregator is something not to be underestimated, precisely because it checks through a myriad of antiviruses (not in real time, because this methods are a plus).

I don't know why I decide to check this emulators. Just to be sure, and because my PCs need to stay safe.

I just wanted to share this false positive with you
