Feature:AntivirusThe file C:\<redacted>\dsp_seed-ak2CoQGZ.exe is infected with Trojan.GenericKD.71619798 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean.

File was downloaded from:
https://doubleuth.github.io/DSP-Seed-Finder/find-star
with the functionality provided to use local CPU for processing (a lot faster)
The site itself is also flagged as dangerous by BitDefender.

I have a strong suspicion that the site and the executable are not dangerous, but they use/display mechanisms that are being used by actual malware.
