Windows (64-bit) download - Flagged by Windows Defender as containing a Virus

Qt5Core.dll comes back as negative on VirusTotal (0/55) and a SHA-256 hash:
8cc2fc821e28e2a6ad26b5fcefc83fa563644e44b9cb636f2bb1d500b3118b37

Qt5SerialPort.dll also comes back as negative on VirusTotal (0/55) and a SHA-256 hash:
7fe0929b50187490ed8b5a91ce587a483ccf1831c8f26da6eb699534129d9766

This leads me to believe that this is probably a false categorization, BUT I didn't manually analyze or sandbox the files. I poked a little further.

I did not see hash values for the Fritzing downloads, so I can't compare that. Also, between the time that I saw this on my home computer, and switched to my research computer, the fritzing.org site went down. There could have been an alteration of the files.
Doing an MD5 of the two downloads on two different computers, I have the same file name, but two different hashes.

Breaking down and disabling the AV on my desktop, I ran VirusTotal against the two files. They have different hashes, and in fact, different file sizes.

I'd be real careful here. Something's not adding up right. This could be operator error (not my first rodeo, but it happens), so I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm my findings.
