Josh,

these scanners are a) not exactly the most reliable ones and b) they are
throwing "generic" names, which means it's their heuristic detection
that is giving the alarm.

The total amount of scanners at Virustotal that scanned the file is 57 -
as long as only 6 out of 57 trigger the alarm, and there's not a single
reputable name amongst those being triggered, there's nothing to worry
about.  I'd start worrying once Avast, AVG, Avira, BitDefender, F-Prot,
F-Secure, Kaspersky, G-Data, Malwarebytes, McAfee, Microsoft, Sophos,
Symantec or TrendMicro start throwing warnings.  As of now, this can
safely be dismissed as a false alarm.

Also, next to our download, in the same directory
<https://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/x2goclient/releases/4.1.2.2-2020.02.13/>,
you can find MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 checksums *as well as a GPG signature*
from us.  Do check that signature - if it matches, there's nothing to
worry about.

The reason why Firefox and Chrome trigger an alert, and what to do about
it, has been discussed on this mailing list before, see this thread:
