VirusTotal - Zillya security vendor detected Trojan.Rozena.Win32.223574.

Please confirm if this is of concern or a false positive? Thanks.

Since we don't know how you obtained VLC, it is not honestly possible to answer.

Antivirus programs are known to throw false positives with VLC due to half-assed signature databases, but who knows about your case.

Hi, I downloaded directly from VLC website and verified downloaded file has hash "9742689A50E96DDC04D80CEFF046B28DA2BEEFD617BE18166F8C5E715EC60C59".

Which file are you taking about ? The installer ? The ZIP file ? The executable ?
Post the URL of this Virustotal report.

That said, VLC 3.0.21 is out for several months now and no one has reported any issue of this kind yet.
1 warning out of 65/70 must be a false positive.

The hash belongs to vlc-3.0.21-win64.exe

1 out of 70, I believe it's a false positive from an obscure antivirus.
