Download prompts virus warning from McAfee

[J-hutch]

Hi, I am investigating accessible tools for blind developers and was hoping to download EdSharp to give it a go. Unforunately McAfee WebAdvisor brings up this warning.

I could take the risk but obviously I'd rather not get a virus on my new machine.

Thoughts?

Hi,
Did you try to download EdSharp from the GitHub repository? If so, which link did you use? If not, can you please reply with steps you used, so I can try to reproduce the issue?

Thanks.
