What version of Scanner are you using?

 

Looks like this has happened before

 

2.4.0.2908 (WSS)
----------------
* ESET's NOD32 anti-virus was incorrectly flagging the .wssx file as a Trojan.
  Only their anti-virus was doing it, and no one else's. The problem was an EXE that
  stops / starts the service during the upgrade process. Recompiling the EXE with the
  zlib compression and no code changes resolved the false positive. Otherwise this
  version is identical to 2.4.0.2905.

... That's unfortunately.

 

We use a web API to check all the installers and files during compile to help avoid this issue. 

But this is definitely a false positive.

 

 

At best here, I can recommend that you redownload the file and reinstall it. Short of that, disable ESET temporarily during the install.
