vlc-3.0.3-win64.exe has Trojan.Inject!ZKnhxDAIRCs according to VirusTotal

[jfkelley]

Yandex (via VirusTotal.com) found the Trojan.Inject!ZKnhxDAIRCs trojan in the executable. I did verify the SHA256 hash (using PowerShell "Get-FileHash").

VirusTotal report: https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/59940 ... /detection

I'm afraid to install it, despite Windows Defender scan not finding anything wrong.

BTW: RE: getting the SHA256 on Windows... It took me a while to figure out, but I ended up writing this handy batch file:
PowerShell.exe -Command "Get-FileHash -LiteralPath %1 -Algorithm SHA1"
PowerShell.exe -Command "Get-FileHash -LiteralPath %1 -Algorithm SHA256"
PowerShell.exe -Command "Get-FileHash -LiteralPath %1 -Algorithm MD5"

Thank you InTheWings for the link to the forum search. A lot of information to digest. It did point me to Hybrid:

Which, in spite of 14 "Suspicious" indicators, did label the file as "whitelisted", whatever that means.

I may just chance it if no one has any idea what this "Inject" trojan is about (it may be a false hit?)
