Interesting, though I suspect that is a false positive, it's happened before with that software

Most likely because it is a self-contained web server executable? That sort of software would seem suspicious and similar to other sorts of virus/malware.

Granted I have not used it in a while but I'd be surprised if it were true, their forums and github would be full of reports of malware.

That aside you have plenty of other options to use if you prefer to use something else.
