Legit content gets flagged as malicious content

Is anyone seeing this? I can't reproduce it myself but I have users claiming their antivirus software freaks out upon downloading the mods.

The false positive is in regard to Trojan:Script/Foretype.A!ml

I have a user claiming the same thing here: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?showtopic=4979520/&do=findComment&comment=64972461

 

This is even after the Nexus AV has declared it safe. Something may need to get looked into here.

I've manually downloaded every file mentioned in the this thread, and extracted them to their own folders, and Kaspersky didn't complain once.

If I try to extract something Kaspersky doesn't like it lets me know, and prevents me from doing file operations in that particular folder.

I had it manually scan the archives and the extracted files.
Nothing on my end.

Could it be people are using FREE AVs that false trigger on EVERYTHING, and they have their settings too high?
Are some of these people the same ones who get the captcha at every login?
