Hi, when I install fzf plugin for gvim, meet a threat warning, could you please confirm if it is real thread? Thanks. Below is the reproduce steps, and I have asked in https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2065 but seems he can't do anything about this.

  • Install AVG Business (software version 20.3.3120, Virus definitions version: 200530-0)
  • Install fzf plugin for gvim, after type :files!, there is a message "fzf executable not found. Download birary?", choose y.
  • fzf.exe is in quarantine. Threat name: "Win32:Malware-gen"
