AnkhBot flagged as malicious

Hello,

I was just trying to start up a Twitch chat bot I use to moderate my chat and Avast identified it as a threat and blocked it for IDP.SMPQ.5
I uploaded the exe to VirusTotal, https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/b6cf84600055776c29e712e13690833ba4533e970566cbb34abaeef60ab5e1b8/analysis/1501634729/

AnkhBot is a program that allows Twitch streamers to moderate chat, have an interactive song queue, mini-games and other features. I don’t see how it would be classified as malicious.

Any insight into this?

Thanks
