Yeah, I totally get why you’d second-guess it — I’ve done the same, running something through VirusTotal and then sitting there squinting at the two red hits like... “Okay, but which two?” Honestly, if you got the file from videolan.org, that's as official as it gets. I’ve been using VLC for years and never had any real issues. Some of these detections are just heuristics going a bit overboard, especially with installers that bundle multiple components. Also, W64/Trojan3.ASJU doesn’t exactly scream definitive threat — sounds more like a “could be” based on pattern matching. Still, I get the hesitation. What I usually do in these cases is install it on a VM or sandbox first, just to be extra cautious. That said, if your antivirus and firewall are up to date and it’s the original site, I’d chalk it up to false positive too. Keep an eye out for anything weird after install, but chances are it’s totally fine.
