Tried submitting it to virustotal?

Edit: I might be close to paranoid but I've seen to many cases of nice freeware or open source software getting compromised or even selling out to adware.

I'm surprised they don't provide a checksum, or a PGP signature, or both. Did people forget about Handbrake already?

VirusTotal doesn't show anything. Can you provide url & sha256 of the installer?

Seems like a false positive, Windows Defender stopped reporting it as infected after definitions update. sha256 of the file in question is f7540af3ad4aa7e6f02c850bfe428d65e481f8b4c00c2927f72b62450f4ec42b .
