That is a good question and may be hard to answer. The file in question is a Bauer
stereophonic-to-binaural DSP and was not malicious.

What *may* be the case here was software that is used to automatically detect malware in
suspect files used by anti malware vendors. It was only after examination of the source
code, dissasembly and full examination by human researchers was the file deemed non
malicious and the signatures indicating otherwise were removed.

I can't say directly why this happened. I can say that I reorted the file in a closed
forum where researchers were able to specifically examine the file and one person
championed the cause to have the False Positive declarations removed.
