These things just keep popping up. There is not much that we can do about them as indeed they are false positives.
It may be that the only good solution for the future will be a single installer being fed with customised configuration files. This way the installer being used over and over again by the large community would get enough reputation to be treated as safe by all tests. This, probably unavoidable, would be a major rebuild of the current approach.

Hi,
It has been reported to me that the eduroam installer cat available here at
Cambridge University is being picked up as Win.Trojan.Autoit-1372 by ClamAV
and HEUR/Malware.QVM10.Gen by Qihoo-360.

I have submitted an installer to ClamAV via their false positive submission
page.

See
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/7c19f3a35ca2bb45d752fd3214fbc8367b18d84ce5b8bf75b52b2d8d0b3f375e/analysis/1406205723/
for the results of a scan on our Windows 8 config tool.
