I was scanning the installer for the latest Windows release of tesseract. 1

That web site currently says 0 vendors flagged the file, so I suspect it 
was a transient false positive, but, unfortunately, the site doesn't appear 
to keep a history of its updates. Also anyone can request a re-analysis and 
when I looked it said it had been last updated 45 minutes ago.

You don't say anything about the provenance of the file that you tested, 
but based on the file name, I'm guessing it's UB-Mannheim's *unofficial* 
binary build. They provide those as a convenience, but you certainly can 
build your own if you want the peace of mind of knowing exactly what it 
includes.
