Trojan:Win32/PackBackdoor ?

I was trying to install Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and as always I ran the installer through VirusTotal. One of the Security Vendor's Analysis detects Trojan:Win32/PackBackdoor.0142b83b:

I am thinking that this could mostly be a false alarm? Any thoughts?

When only one of the engines, especially a lesser-known one detects it, it is probably a false positive,

Hi @jguiherdev @per1234,
After internal analysis, the security team concluded it was a false positive.
We have contacted the vendor with a "false positive report" request, we hope the virustotal's engine will be updated quickly.
