TAudioConverter has 2 files which Symantec Antivirus keeps extracting and removing from my drive. Both renametool.exe and TTager.exe, are being labeled "Risk type: Virus, Risk: Trojan.Gen.SMH." Symantec says this "is a generic detection for many individual but varied Trojans for which specific definitions have not been created."
Policies above my control will not allow me to re-download TAudioConverter from Source Forge; and I don't have access to the quarantined and cleaned files, so I cant analyze them with other tools. Perhaps this ID is just a lapse on Symantec's part...
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it only Symantec throwing up the red flag?

Symantec has false positives rather often. Like most antivirus, its heuristic detection is poor. That's what "Trojan.Gen.SMH", Symantec 'guessing' what this is based on almost nothing.
Here's a VirusTotal scan of renametool.exe: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/8499a911d33bcc4938f2ec5cb1a1e49d0b449...
