I've read on the Forums here and at Portable Apps this particular file has (in times past) turned up as a false positive with AVG and others. I note VirusTotal says the file is OK. I'll upload it to the excellent staff at Malwarebytes confident they will give it a thoughtful analysis, and clear up this possibly false positive report. Thank you, in advance.
