Avast detects Win32:Dropper-gen [Drp] in Raptr uninstall.exe

Viruses and worms

Avast just detected a threat in Program Files\Raptr\uninstall.exe which it believes to contain the Win32:Dropper-gen [Drp] virus.

Malwarebytes did not detect a virus in the same file.

I uploaded the file to VirusTotal with this result:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/28e3f0655d7203b5b8fbfe321fcc43cb76d17b5251fe3e77f707a29e0dd126f8/analysis/

Which seems to suggest it may be a false positive as no other virus software detects the threat.

I have not taken any action but I would like to uninstall the Raptr software (bundled with AMD drivers) so do not want to delete or quarantine the file if it will make it difficult to uninstall Raptr.

Any advice? Thanks
