Exactly which URL did you download it from? And please provide a checksum

Hi!

Can you please take the file from your system and upload it to
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload, and let us know what the
detection there says? It also gives you a link to the finished analysis,
so please post the link to that one as well.
