You may have downloaded an infected version from some unofficial place. Download it from the official github and build it yourself to be sure it is not a Trojan.

thank you , can you gave me the official github link .

Did some digging and the general consensus is that due to the way it's assembled - it triggers AV software. However, @kev626 has a great point and you should definitely make sure your software hasn't been compromised - if you haven't already. YMMV
