Good evening,

I just received an alert after downloading via torrent the zip in the title.

C:\Users\…\Downloads\virtual_os_museum-2026.08.26-lite\virtual_os_museum-2026.08.26-lite\apps\run-hidden64.exe è stato infettato con Gen:Variant.Tedy.598848

maybe it's a false positive, I uploaded the file on virustotal where it returned:

24/70 security vendors flagged this file as malicious

Zip file was download from their site: https://virtualosmuseum.org/ using qBittorrent v.5.1.0

Anyway I also verified the SHA456 sum file:
