Dolphin giving false positives on VirusTotal - honestlyidk - 08-24-2021

hi, i tried downloading the most recent beta version of dolphin (5.0-14790) and decided to run it through virustotal. virustotal's scan says that a product called MaxSecure detected it as Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen. i made sure i downloaded it from the official site and, just to be sure, ran the second most recent version through virustotal and it gave me the exact same result on that one: MaxSecure detecting it as Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen. spybot says it's clean and so does my antivirus so i'm pretty certain it's a false positive, but i'm still a bit wary of opening it.

It's probably just AI based detection hating our updater once again. We talked about the problems with that here - https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2019/11/07/dolphin-progress-report-october-2019/#windows-defender-yelling-at-a-cloud-ai
