Win.Virus.Zard-10023240-0 within Firefox Setup .msi

ClamAV was triggering on several MSI and EXEs for Firefox Setup versions; 124.0.1.msi, 115.9.1esr.msi, 124.0.1.exe, 115.9.1esr.exe, 115.9.1esr.msi. The flag was on a file Win.Virus.Zard-10023240-0. We believe this is a false positive, but was wondering if you could provide more insight into what Win.Virus.Zard is within the build?

ClamAV has been one of the few scanners that has had false positives with Firefox for Windows downloads over the years.

I uploaded the Firefox Setup 115.9.1esr.msi to Virustotal site and it says 0/57 with ClamAV saying undetected also.

Thanks for the replies, I appreciate them. VT was the first thing I did, my question is more "what is (or what is the purpose of) Win.Virus.Zard-10023240-0"
