What information does checking the signature give? It shows it's signed, not
that it's virus-free. A signature shows that a binary comes from a certain
source, not that it carries no payloads.

> Please report it to your Antivirus vendors.

VirusTotal.com tests using 60-70 vendors, of which 18% (let's round to one
fifth of all AVs) have trouble with this binary. I do not believe
responsibility for reporting a false positive, at such a scale, lies with
someone with no knowledge of your runtime, your build machines, your internal
pre-signature AV checks, your runtime or the areas of your runtime that cause
AVs to flag the binary.
