From a scummvm developer:

That one is often false positive unfortunately... https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=21786 has details, but I think the trojan is very polymorphic and thus the detection signature is very wide and thus prone to false positives 😐
https://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=22773 "Two security experts point out to me that if code section is writeable, it is easily flagged by AV as malicious." ... so might be that

dumpbin (Windows):

dumpbin /headers my_app.exe

Check the characteristics of the .text section. It should be marked as CODE and Execute-Read.
