This is probably a false positive.
My gut feel would be the Openssl binaries that EasyRSA ships.
Either that or the Unix tools, which have been shipped for over a decade,
unchanged, have suddenly been flagged by your AV as dubious.
If your anti-virus product is really so picky then simply download and
install Openvpn for Windows and install Easy-RSA from that installer.
You need to select Easy-RSA as an extra install component. IE. Custom.
OpenVPN Download URL: https://community.openvpn.net/Downloads
If your anti-virus also complains about the Openvpn installer then
please let us know.
I'd just downloaded and installed the latest OpenVPN release but didn't
think to install the EasyRSA piece, forgetting it was part of that. The
installer's "modify" option isn't available so I uninstalled and
re-installed with EasyRSA included and didn't get any alert. So the problem
seems to be only in the standalone zip file.
The AV in question is Microsoft Defender that comes with Win10. Apparently
it false positives on "TrojanScript/Wacatec.B!ml" a lot:

I posted a link in the first message here to VirusTotal just to show how
many vendors are getting it wrong. I'll submit this one to MS to let them
analyze it and add it to their exceptions.
