This looks more like something went wrong with signature extraction
from the executable.  Maybe this service picks the first or last X.509
certificate it finds in the binary.  Do you have a copy of the binary?

This is possible.  Based on the file name, a false positive seems
unlikely.

One AV vendor called it Trojan.Encriyoko, in case that helps.
