PS. Please do not submit AVG virus reports about Win32/Heur.

Because this is a generic (so to speak) detection, the file has not been 100% confirmed to be malware by the virus analysts (e.g. it has not yet been given a name), so there is a chance that the file is being mistakenly detected and it is not actually malicious.

VirusTotal report. You can turn off heuristic scanning or add an exception for DF.
