Root cause is that the Trend sucks. and they have bad way to detect threats. The way AV software work it is real easy to flag files that are not an issue.

And False Positives are super common for Filemanager application. AV software see that this application is using lots of file APIs and that look suspicious so then it flags it, It often goes away after a while when their process have checked it more in depth or something.

Since false positives are super common a good way to verify is to use virualtotal.com to check files. if just some report its bad then its probably false positives. if most of them flags it then it is bad.
