How to indentify false positives (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So, I tried to install lidarr on my windows machine via the exe on the website, but my antivirus flagged it immediately. I am sure i could just work around this by disabling the antivirus for a bit or by composing it manually, but for all I know maybe someone inserted some malicious code. Is this an issue y'all have noticed? How can I tell if this is actually malicious?

Thanks for the diagnostic tools! According to the tools, the software is safe, so I guess I'm gonna be trying disabling the antivirus while I install and hoping that avoids the problem. I'll keep those tools bookmarked for future use
