Is this something to be concerned with? It was picked-up by VirusTotal in the Updater. I guess I am asking what should the next step be as Glasswire/TotalVirus indicates there is an issue? Thank You

According to Glasswire (I am not real familiar with this yet), it says there is potentially a virus in the updater. Here is a bit of a cut and paste from their page.

Thanks for your assistance with this, I was relatively lucky and my AV caught the September issue on a scan. However, as you say, one can never say never in this day and age, but I kind of agree that it is a false positive. (Nothing like the numbers I saw on the YTD Video Downloader program, I got rid of that real quick) Thanks for the info on the portable ZIP Version, I didn't know about that option. Thanks again for your help and knowledge.
