I dont think is a false positive ...
Version 3.5.7 download from official relase page
the standalone version seem clean, but how I trust this program? (and is exact what I need)

Perhaps your Windows is infected. You could install VirtualBox in a Linux computer and create a Windows VM to compile. Then, you could compare.
