Yes, I know that Windows Defender and Malwarebytes also says it's clean.
A few years back, I had some trouble with a rather persistent malware infection. As a result, I take the precaution to check each download against Virustotal which will automatically submit the file to a whole series of antivirus vendors for scanning.
A few positives may not mean anything as they could be false positives.

VirusTotal simply aggregates the output of different antivirus vendors and URL scanners, it does not produce any verdicts of its own. As such, if you are experiencing a false positive issue, you should notify the problem to the company producing the erroneous detection, they are the only ones that can fix the issue. Please note that even if we were able to remove the flag, the users of such product would still be blocked from accessing your site.

I scanned the portable version and got 2 warning for the IQURI protocol install. It is a text file which modifies the registry to enable universal links. I guess it can be seen as malware, but it isn't.
As for the 3rd, it is the main program, infoqube.exe. I submitted it to DrWeb as false positive. Hopefully, they'll confirm that and add it to their signatures
