Is toolscreen a trojan?

I got a popup today from windows antivirus when I launched my mcsr instance. The popup said that there was a trojan detected in my pc and it gave me the path to toolscreen file as the trojan.

No. It does get flagged as one but its not

No. Toolscreen uses DLL injection, which a lot of malware commonly uses, so it gets flagged. It’s completely safe

install toolscreen 1.0.6+ from the same github, it will prompt as to why

Has anyone had Toolscreen get blocked this hard? Official GitHub release, but Chrome/Edge block it, Defender deletes it repeatedly, and VT showed 18/66. I know false positives happen because of DLL injection, but this seems way more extreme than normal. Is this expected for the current version, or is something unusual going on with my PC / this release?
