In general, I think people should file a support issue with their
antivirus provider, asking to fix or to really provide evidence.  There
is a long history of negligent accusations from antivirus.

Antivirus programs really should output a file with an argument that
shows why their detection is valid.

Of course, there is always the possibility of a true detection.
