Describe the bug
Upon installing ezdxf using pip install, my antivirus (Bitdefender) is flagging this file "\ezdxf\acc\matrix44.cp311-win_amd64.pyd" as a virus.

To Reproduce

  1. pip install ezdxf from VS Code Python
  2. Bitdefender antivirus quarantines the file "matrix44.cp311-win_amd64.pyd" calling it a threat.

Further Information:

  1. I uploaded the file to Virus Total and got the information that 11/72 vendors have flagged it as malicious Gen:Variant.Mikey.167708
  2. Link to Virus Total Threat Detection - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/c8e02a0891f66fe95f01f448cbb9dcdc3f5dd9786d7b934d2819aa3d6066a53b/detection

Please confirm if this can be ignored.

That's kind of a stupid question, if it was a virus, I would be the author and if PyPI was hacked and malicious code was injected, I wouldn't know that either.

Thank you for your response.

To clarify, I posted this question with an intention to inform and also get guidance. I will report this to PyPI so that they can check as well.
