the program takes control over the browser Internet Explorer to verify that the captchas have been completed correctly and sometimes to clear history and cache of the browser. does it have something to do with the detection of virus?
If that is true and it uses hooks in windows then that would most likely flag it as a virus even though potentially it could be non-malicious.
It is most likely a false alarm. The behavior of the program is much like from other malwares. Programs with attaching/hooking, overriding or taking control of a browser or application behaviors will most likely detected even if it is technically safe.
But we can't be sure until we decompile the program. There are true malwares today that can't be dected like what I've just encountered last month, it changes the wallet address in clipboard.
Just to be safe, run it on a virtual environment or install a Deep Freeze.
