This is a false positive. We cannot do anything about broken third party antivirus software misidentifying legitimate software.

You can of course inspect the file yourself. You will see that it's the PostgreSQL database backup engine, added in 10.3.0. The broken antivirus is throwing a false positive because we have to run PostgreSQL's database dump (pgdump) binary to export its structure. Despite what the idiots who wrote the signature think (or, rather, don't think) there are FAR MORE legitimate uses for doing so than the single instance they found in a very old piece of malware from a decade ago.

Look. I can very easily obfuscate what the file is doing which –ironically– is what an actual malware author would be doing. Then, they would not be able to misidentify the software. If Norton (or, rather, whoever owns that brand these days) can't get their head out of their ass I will have to. The file will become unreadable to other people and look like legitimate malware even though it's not, but the idiotic antivirus won't be misidentifying it. The irony of this is not lost on me – and it's something I have already done in Admin Tools, since its signatures for detecting malicious code patterns were throwing false positives on other code scanners.
