Virus Detection. False positive or legit?

[Overlord Mills]

I was playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on Dolphin, when Windows Defender detected it as Malware and Quarantined it.
Attached is the file report. This this a legit virus or a false positive?

FYI the only antivirus software I have installed is Windows Defender and SpyBot.

Attach didn't work so here is another copy.

Dolphin itself isn't a virus, but it's possible that some other malicious software on your machine embedded one in Dolphin. I'd try uploading it to a site like virustotal which will tell you if anything actually sees it as a virus. If everything there says it's fine, it's probably just a false positive. Otherwise, you're going to have to try scanning your computer thoroughly with a more comprehensive set of anti-malware tools (I use Avast free and Malwarebytes, and don't have any reason to believe they've let anything through, whereas Windows Defender has been known to miss some things sometimes).

That's doubtful. I just built this new computer, and only use Steam and Minecraft on it so far besides Dolphin, and I don't browse the web in weird places.
It looks too sketchy to be a false positive, and there is no other malware is on my computer.

Have you downloaded the archive from the official website? If not chances are that it is indeed malicious.
To make sure, upload the exe to VirusTotal and see what it says (it should be a clean 0/53).
If you still don't trust it, delete the folder (your saves should be in Documents/Dolphin Emulator unless you changed it, so don't worry) and grab the latest archive from the official website and you should be good.

You might also want to completely ditch Windows Defender (it's garbage) and grab either Avast or Comodo Internet Security Premium if you're more advanced (I use Comodo).

Thanks for the info. I did indeed download it from the official source, and uploaded it to virus total with no issues. It might just be Windows Defender being stupid. My computer technician helped me build my new gaming rig and told me to just stick with WD. I was skeptical but this helps prove that point. I'm guessing it's just a false positive.
