Potentially False position on depends.exe

[Ninehundred]

We've been using the dependency checker depends.exe (from the site https://dependencywalker.com/) for years. Today, Malwarebytes identified it as a potential thread - Malware.AI.4131440719.  I believe this is a false positive. 

 

Here's the report from the scan
