Hi there,
I just downloaded the VLC from the official webiste ( https://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.de.html)
 
When I downloaded the file (https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.10/win64/vlc-3.0.10-win64.exe), I checked the exe. file with virustotal. One engine said, that there is a trojan (Jiangmin: Trojan.Generic. esazv)
 
Is it a real virus or just a false positive?!
 
Please help, thank you!
