Possible Trojan in files?

[Just a Bear]

Ran my antivirus today and was checking the log and noticed that a file was flagged as trojan in the game files under what looks like "Modding" file. Hadn't added any mods to the game so presumably this is part of the base game.

Might be a false flag (as antivirus has flagged some files for modded Minecraft in the past but on the off chance it is not, was curious if anyone else had run into this?

1. False positives exist.
2. Which antivirus detected it? In 2024, the only reliable consumer "antimalwares" or scanners that I know are Malwarebytes, Windows Defender(yes, really) and Virus Total. Even those will act trigger happy and flag every PUP or 'file that modifies something else' as a malware.
3. Actual viruses will hijack benign files to mask their presence. If the detection is genuine, this is probably what happened.

!) def get that, figured it was probably but on the off chance not like to flag
2) Bitdefender is the antivirus I currently am running, paid account version and while I know every one is a little buggy and trigger happy and tends to air on the grounds of false positives.
3) fair point, not as knowledgeable in cybersecurity side of things so ill take your word for it, in which case ill just flag that this file as a hijack point. Either way though, wanted to just raise the flag up in case
