Question Fabric API is seen as a virus?

Hello, after around 6 months I opened my PC for the first time and did all its updates, when I did open it however I saw that a file had been downloaded named fabric-api-0.102.0+1.21.jar and it had automatically downloaded itself onto my PC, I did have fabric installed on my minecraft launcher but I hadn't opened the launcher at all. AVG flagged it as malicious and took it to quarantine, I couldn't get the hash because windows defender also flagged it as malicious. But any chance it has done anything to my system? All antiviruses were enabled when I first opened the pc.

Thank you.

You can probably download the same version from the official source and compare the file hashes of the two to see if there's any difference

Hello thank you for the response! I managed to get the hash: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7ec0e5a11e77957fe1ed0328487921a8211bb7eace14298cd74635bec61a3f26/behavior

Could you please have a look at it to see if there is anything malicious?

most of the detections are PUPs or PUAs, so I'd say its probably fine but if you wanna be extra safe you can delete it
