Possible Trojan

[Zarrack559]

I recently downloaded the latest version of GZDoom, version 4.14 and after transferring the files to a folder of my choice was infected be a trojan virus for cyrpto currency cyrptominer.j, I'm not sure if it was an outcome of the download or not but I feel it should be known for future reference.

Sounds like a false positive to me (or something already on your system).

I've been using it for days, my own virus software gives it a clean bill of health and so does VirusTotal:

You need to educate yourself on false positives. You're relying on a program that's trying to guess at GZDoom's safety and often it does not get it right. Putting all your trust and faith into it is going to lead you in the wrong direction more often than not - especially when it flags a file as safe when it indeed is not, or in cases like this when it flags a file as dangerous when it is not.

It was something already on the system, the only reason I posted this is because it didn't tell me exactly what program; app; or file caused it. The culprit was a torrent application installed without my knowledge as more than one person uses this pc daily, I only suspected the download because it happened right when I transferred the files and my antivirus/maleware software didn't tell me the exact source.
