Random "virus scanners" can randomly misdetect stuff in pretty much any software since their heuristics are... suboptimal, at best. If you want to raise your confidence level you can always do a majority vote using e.g. virustotal.com: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/caa40b2a82063b950ee27fbe7f6f65f48b3eb3a4e53a2b20ae3296a3c3e5a933/detection For the current PulseView 64bit nightly installer as of today, 70 out of 70 malware detection engines don't see any issues with the .exe file. Make of that what you will. If you feel like it's worth your time you can contact your antivirus vendor and tell them to fix their stuff.
