If it's a generic it would most likely be a false positive. If the anti-virus has an exclude list (most do) use that. I have a mod installed into a game called Gentool and had Bitdefender Free installed, but it messed with debugging features and Gentool would throw up an error upon launching Gentool. Now I just use Sandboxie and scan downloaded files with Malwarebytes, Super antispyware and run other scanners. But I should have an anti-virus installed to protect from external sources like USB sticks. Autoplay is off though.
