Just about guaranteed it's a false positive.

Someone doing development for a company, was informed that his app
triggered the anti-virus s/w the company was using. After spending hours
trying to track it down, he traced it to one specific function in the
source code. Changing the order of some lines of code within that one
function stopped that false positive.....
