:roll:

Works perfectly in Windows 10 Home. No warning from the antivirus.

I can't access it in Windows 10 either from the original link or Damir's alternative. I can get it on an old Windows 8 machine but don't have a virus checker other than defender to check it in.

Having the same issue on Windows 10 where Defender flags it as a virus. Not a big fan of mediafire, if the file was direct from the authors website I'd feel more trusting. But who knows what mediafire might pack along with the rar :(

Any alternative sites that reputable?

How would an alternative download site change the binaries?
(The mediafire download is the official link from the author and it is closed source, so only this binaries exist)

Just send it for detection and it will be acknowledged as a false positive (which it is).

Only 1/68 virus scanners have it flagged as virus/trojan...
