Any response on this? I've stopped using RawAccel since this file got flagged.. idk if it is safe or not.

There is no virus. Read the other issue if you want, your antivirus flags it because its not signed. In case you were wondering: Win64:MalwareX-gen [Trj] is a generic, heuristic detection, I.E. its flagging it because it doesn't know if its safe or not.
