I can see where it could be used as a malicious program, but I'm betting this is a false positive. You'll have to make your antivirus program ignore it to use it, I suppose. Just wanted everybody who downloads this know about it...
Sadly, that's pretty common nowadays.
A lot of Nirsofts great tools are labeled als hacking software by numerous AntiVirus Apps (e.g. Trend Micro). Thus trying to block them. It's always a pain in the ass.
But not much you can do about it.
It's not really a false positive either - since those tools ARE sort of hacking tools. But the tools themselves do nothing harmful per se.
