Please explain if the infections are false positive or what should we take precautions for.

If the file is downloaded from this site => it's clean and it's a false positive.

Thanks for the clarification. You can submit the official FRD to Virustotal.com, just so that we are on the same page. I downloaded the software from this site.

Shitty antivirus softwares flag NirCmd as a trojan, but it is not malware. FRD uses it for creating shortcuts and system shutdown on Windows. You can find more information on it here, on the official site: [nirsoft.net]

As we recently included a library for accessing native code (JNA), future versions of FRD will not contain NirCmd anymore.

Thanks for the clarification.
