Emby WMC installer detected as W32/Exploit.gen virus by Panda Antivirus?

I run Windows Media Center, and the Emby server is on the same machine. Recently I've noticed that it takes a really long time for the Emby WMC plugin to start up - so I thought I would reinstall the plugin. When I downloaded and tried to run, Panda antivirus blocked it claiming this was a virus "W32/Exploit.gen". 

 

I downloaded from Emby website https://emby.media/emby-for-windows-media-center.html

 

Anybody else see this?

I haven't seen this reported but it has to be a false positive if you got it from us.  The installer hasn't changed in a very long time.  Can you report it to them as a false positive please?

 

As for your initial issue - you didn't need to re-install.  More than likely your server address changed and you had the app set to automatically connect to the old address.

Thanks - that's probably the cause. 

The page you referred me said to change a setting in the app. I can't find a similar setting in WMC or in the Emby server adminstration - can you help me locate?
