When upgrading AutoHotKey I get a message that installer is infected
Sorry that's in Dutch but I run the product in Dutch. Through winget I was updating some installed software and got the below message:
Can this be a false positive?

Hello @DikkieDick,
If you believe this is a false positive detection, you can send a sample to the Bitdefender Labs using the form available at the link below:
Once confirmed, false alarms are corrected within hours.
I hope the information is helpful.

Hi @Alexandru_BD , frankly I don't know if it's a false positive. Could be that it contains a virus which ofcourse we don't hope as it's stuff released through Github. I could also ask on the autohotkey-forum if they are aware that the setupfile is giving a virus-message. Looks like it happened more often in the past.
Gave it a try with VirusTotal and this gives the following (I haven't been long enough around here to post links, so a screenshot) but then BitDefender doesn't show up.
Update: tried to submit it through the mentioned form but I got stuck after pressing submit. And nothing seems to be happening. Or it has been submitted but then it has now been submitted 6 times or so.
