Download appears malicious - Google Chrome
bastik:
I had a lot of warnings in the far past with compiled autohotkey scripts. They were detected as "autohotkey trojan" (or similar). Apparently the AV picked something that was present in most/some of the compiled versions of the scripts as well as the actual malware.
Double-checking never hurts.

IIUC, more recent AHK things are compressed with mpress, whereas before compression of such things was much more often done using upx. My current impression is that the triggering (if any) of recent AHK things (i.e. using mpress) is much less frequent.
If someone knows otherwise, perhaps they can chime in :)

I made sure my executables are not compressed at all, in this case it maybe has to do with the innosetup executable not being signed with a level 2 object code signing certificate?

Update.
Still not sure how it happened. However, a solution is to join Google Webmaster Tools. After a few days the warning is no longer shown:
