i found this site today and wanted to submit my system so I downloaded the program to do so. however I always submit any downloaded file to virustotal first to check its safety. virus total flagged it as malicious. so I tried hybrid analysis which also found it a 39/100 threat.

virustotal lists Trojan.Generic@AI.81 (RDML:WrWckqXe8PjOIrMJo34cZg)
hybrid analysis lists: HVM:TrojanDownloader/Small.gen

please advise

It's a false flag, the app is safe

Any software that tries to interrogate for system information would reasonably raise some flags with antivirus systems, so a 39/100 threat rating for this type of software shouldn't be unexpected.

Just make sure you downloaded it from a reputable source and not some sketchy mirror site.
