Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

After downloading the latest windows binary youtube-dl.exe here : https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe

I scanned it with VirusTotal, and 3 positive results were shown (3 anti-virus that were suspicious about a risk of Trojan)

results from VirusTotal here :

Can someone confirm that the binary is the correct one, (SHA256 : 51444f81fc0db9d528e1b6db9c727dd9f06752072fa7a88b1b1a30084082cb87 )

and double check if there wasn't some creepy thing injected at some point ?

(otherwise I might go for the long solution... download virtual box + install a linux vm + use linux :D .... if the linux version is not infected either :/ )
