Win64 Installer Contains MaxSecure Malware

[AvidemuxEnjoyer]

The Win64 installer currently hosted on FossHub is blocked by my IT department because it is bundled with "MaxSecure" malware:

Win64/VC++ 2.8.1 Install (64 bits), FossHub,
SHA256: dd962bc788d7d955b04e163e7e1a6620b573adc379bf2ea2a2c25585782b4dca

Is there any other place where I can download Avidemux without the bundled "MaxSecure" malware?

If you need the VC++ version.

MaxSecure like Cynet is one of many antivirus vendors integrated by VirusTotal service. All antivirus engines are prone to false positives. Meanwhile, the false positive for ADM_core6.dll by Cynet seems to have been corrected: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d6c4d78667f0185ddd2d315ce3c76967339c76bfb9e8476e29ba2862292a705c?nocache=1

The false positive by MaxSecure for fontconfig.dll seems to persist: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c085b9a1a80e0ab66582a8952390ab3ccff0b8f5cfa196cf01da0ed16129c21e?nocache=1

Everything following "because" is false and completely misinterprets the content of the screenshot.

Yes, the latest available 2.8.2 nightly build is far less buggy than the last release. If cross-compiling from source is out of question, resorting to official nightlies is the second best option (no published checksums or digital signatures, unfortunately).
