Anti virus is flagging the NX simulation file: awk.exe

Anti virus is flagging the NX simulation file: awk.exe

(OP)
My anti virus is flagging awk.exe as the threat Trojan Horse SCGeneric4.GLQ. It is in a simulation sub folder and the created/modified dates are old but I thought I'd run it by the community anyways. Is this a false trigger?

my guess is its false, I always have my cad/cam/cae Softwares' \programfiles and programdata folders excluded from scans though.

I forced mine to scan the AWK.exe and its fine.

After checking it closer it does appear to be a false detection. Although not a fail safe check, the size, creation date and modified date check out.
