VLC update - "Virus" alert PA

Hello,

I have a question regarding alert in Threat detection - type "virus"

Some endpoints were trying to update VLC player, but it detected as "virus" with this threat ID: 706518286. This is file name: mirror.alwyzon.net/videolan/vlc/3.0.21/win64/vlc-3.0.21-win64.exe. After analysis, I found out that VLC auto-update was trying to download latest version of VLC player from third party web site "mirror".

VLC official website is using this "Mirror.alwyzon" for reaching/downloading updates. I just want to be sure its false positive. Thanks
