Virus in strawberry-perl-5.32.0.1-64bit.msi?

[misterjoshua]

I scanned the recommended .msi installer distributed from the website with VirusTotal and CRDF detected some sort of malicious software.

File on the website: https://strawberryperl.com/download/5.32.0.1/strawberry-perl-5.32.0.1-64bit.msi
Virus total: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/e30fff6adc317ef3eb37867bd9fb4c9d1d2fbb8aa3dceddabe0a8f309dc56a49/details

Is this a false positive?

Without a doubt yes. Similar issue was reported for berrybrew at - stevieb9/berrybrew#241 and one solution is mentioned there (reaching out to specific vendor).
But I would not worry much as top vendors are saying its clean.
I checked some previous strawberry Perl version also and for all of them the same antivirus is detecting it. So it is something specific to only that vendor. I checked the downloaded file sha also but none of them is detecting it. Perfect clean.
