I've managed to install the new version anyway, but still would be curious as to why it would mark it as (low) suspicious.

Thanks for reporting.

We are using some encryption to protect our software against decompiling. This encryption algorithm is also used by several viruses and trojans which leads to false positives from time to time. It's mainly AVAST and AVG.

We have reported this to AVAST and this issue should be fixed in one of the next AVAST updates.

Btw. I uploaded the latest version to virustotal and it seems to be fixed already:

Thanks for your understanding.
