My anti-virus is reporting that "NESAssetsWorkshop-Installer (latest installer)" is including a virus ?

Hi! Could you please share the complete message that the anti virus gives?

I haven't received any similar report so far. The installer has been there for a few months now with hundreds of downloads. I assume it is a false negative that anti viruses sometimes give. But it is worth looking into it if you could give more details. Thank you!

Hello, below the screenshot coming from McAfeeLiveSafe. I've download again the exe file with the same feedback.

Thank you.

A google search indicates that it is a rare occurrence, and is most likely MacAfee's false positive of a trojan, not a virus.

These forum posts talk about it:

I am going to scan it on a few different machines, using different anti-virus software than McAfee just to be sure and will then update this post with the findings.
