The most curious thing that I found there is that John McAfee is the founder of antivirus company McAfee LLC and at the same time this person is actively in bitcoin with his silly statements and false promises (everyone knows one of them).
I can't check right now but did McAfee determined that as a virus? If yes, then I'm more curious to see response from them on your email regarding to false positive.

Hi guys!
Recently we decided to ship Bitcoin Core with Wasabi Wallet. However this resulted in an unpleasant surprise, where numerous anti-virus companies started flagging Wasabi due to Bitcoin Core is being flagged too.
We tried to contact these companies but generally they don't seem to care about it.
So, the last thing we could do is call for the community to help us reporting the false positive results. You can check which anti viruses are flagging Bitcoin Core by uploading Bitcoin Core binaries https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ to a website like VirusTotal https://www.virustotal.com/.
