Hi,

This is mostly intended as a heads up: I just wanted to update 
Visual D and downloaded the current version standalone installer. 
It promptly got flagged by my antivirus (Avira), seemingly based 
on a heuristic.

Running the file through VirusTotal results in it being flagged 
by 4 scanning engines. However, the behavior logs look clean.

Although I'm 90% certain that this is a misclassification, can 
someone please double-check that the file is indeed clean? Thanks.

Regards
Gregor

Here's a digitally signed version of the file:

that passes all but one AV program on VirusTotal.
