This is one of the usual "heuristics" matches be occasionally see, not a
concrete virus alert.

You may want to upload the file to virustotal.com and see for yourself
how many AV engines feel suspicious about it. Despite for a few Chinese
AV engines (who constantly misclassify our installers), most to all AV
engines typically do not report any activity.

In that case, you can be assured that there's nothing special going on.
My guess is that "SecureAnywhere" got a recent signature update where
the heuristics is now slightly too pedantic.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
