TOR stands for "The Onion Router". It's an anonymising proxy, meaning it can hide a user's location and IP address. When hacking, this is the number one precaution that's taken by a hacker to protect his identity from being traced. Because of it's wide use as a hacking tool, it has been correctly identified as a "HackTool".
TOR can also be used as a "relay node" or an "exit node", meaning data from the TOR network can be routed through your computer or exit the TOR network and enter the visible internet, respectively. If you are using TOR in this way, and a malicious hacker ends up using your relay/exit, it may appear as though your computer is attacking the hacker's target.

TL;DR, TOR has been correctly flagged by anti-virus. Solution: use common sense, not anti-virus.
