Creative Cloud marked as a trojan when downloaded from official site

New Here ,
Sep 23, 2025 Sep 23, 2025

I'm unsure if this is a false postive but virustotal said 2/72 that there was a trojan warning. I did 3 full scans of my pc with malwarebytes and windows defender and nothing happened is this a false postive? I first installed it from Microsoft store and was worried that was virus, when I installed creative cloud on my pc it opened the microsoft store one and also when I downloaded the file again and scanned it, it said trojan warning, same for each adobe app I installed. And when i was done downloading my monitor went zoom in snd everything was grey. Image is the reconstruction of itIMG_1867.jpeg

out of the scores of av apps, some always (afaik) find the cc app to be a virus.

If directly from the Adobe site, it is a false positive.

Report it to your security software source.

Ok now that I look at it again it sounded weird. Ok but psd is photoshop file yes? I remember hearing that it can be an exe... like having psd.exe in it. Would that show for the file? Would it be flagged as a virus from sdobe since they check the files for viruses?
