In my experience, this has become increasingly common when distributing software that isn't signed.
I don't sign my software due to privacy concerns, and it regularly gets bogus detections on VirusTotal and Google's similar systems that flow into Safe Browsing.
Mostly from Norton and BitDefender, who are notorious for not replying to any inquiries/submissions. AV is a complete ripoff nowadays and downright malware (coming from someone that had to cancel an accidental Norton subscription for his usually technically sufficient parents, it's a maze of broken support pages and infinite redirects between different language versions).
