Some Anti-Virus programs may classify Pathfinder as a malicious software.
This is sometimes due to common software behaviors, e.g. collecting and sending bug reports in the event of a software error.
Pathfinder is safe to use and does not contain any malicious viruses. To check for yourself, please upload Pathfinder.exe to a software scanner like http://virustotal.com and review the results.
It is then advisable to set up an exception rule for Pathfinder in the virus scanner.
