I have updated to the Version 18.6.1 via advanced installers (client) integrated update mechanism and now my virus scanner found a virus file. The file path is c:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 18.6.1\bin\advinst.iso. It is a relatively small ISO file with 6,78 MB size, so I wonder what purpose it has. In this archive is a viewer.exe which my Scanner doesn’t like.

The Scanner hasn't found a threat anywhere else and the program works with Version 18.6.1. I found two other viewer exe:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 18.6.1\custact\x86\viewer.exe
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 18.6.1\custact\x64\viewer.exe
GData/Bitdefender identified it as Trojan.GenericKD.46896504. I checked with virus total and some no name virus scanner have the same issue, but Kaspersky and other well-known do not.

Is this a false positive or a real virus, what is the purpose of the viewer.exe and the ISO File?
Thank you in advance
