Hi, It seems very likely that it was a false positive. Nobody else reported that issue, and I scanned the same file on virustotal, which checks with lots of different scanners, and none of them found anything. It's impossible to be 100% certain without understanding exactly what was going on on Jeffrey's computer, but I wouldn't worry about using it.
Of course, on windows it's a good idea to have an up to date virus scanner installed anyway, as a general precaution.
