Please file a support request with Trellix and ask them to either fix
their detection or to explain in particular what is present, in enough
detail that the accusation is credible.   False positives from
anti-virus programs happen all the time.   It is always possible that
there really is malware, but I cannot remember that actually happening
within postgis.
