Symantec and Office365 detect Trojan.Gen.8 in openvpn-install-2.4.0-I602.exe

I installed a fresh copy of OpenVPN from https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-install-2.4.0-I602.exe on Friday. When I started my PC this morning Symantec Endpoint Protection popped up that it had found an infection of Trojan.Gen.8 in c:\program files\openvpn\uninstall.exe.

Also when I try to email a zipped up version of this install file through Microsoft's Office365 email servers it gets quarantined and I get a bounce back that Malware was found in the attachment.

It is 99.999999% False positive ..

Did you verify the file signatures ?
Did you report the problem to your anti-virus providers ?

Also, the source is open and you can build it yourself ..
