Malware alert using DCS Store

[epoch]

Clicked on store link https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/

My AV product (BitDefender) popped up an alert:

What's going on?  I have had false positives from BitDefender in other scenarios but thought it worth mentioning ...

".. attempt to install software.. "(!!)

That binaries can trigger anti-virus signature recognition I understand completely, but attempting to install software is more than worrying.

I'm going to raise this with Bitdefender as well, to be thorough.

It took them a while, but Bitdefender confirmed that the report was a false-positive. They wouldn't say anything about why it was a false-positive, but informed that it was corrected in a recent update.
