vlc-3.0.17.4-win32.exe is popping one flag on VirusTotal for Trojan.Generic.Win32.1656480. I know it is probably a false positive but VLC needs to get it corrected.

This is a false positive from this antivirus. If you downloaded VLC from videolan.org there is probably nothing to worry about (you can still verify the checksums)

This is a recurring problem with their software, we can't fix it for them.
