Why have multiple online virus scanners flagged my sysinternals zip file as dangerous?

Question

i downloaded sysinternals from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/ and all 3 online virus scanners that I've always used flagged the zip file as dangerous.

virus total

metadefender

jottis

all 3 flagged the file as a trojan or trojan installer.

i just want to make sure that I have downloaded the file from the correct place and that the file is actually safe to unpack and run.

Because bad actors have included sysinternals tools in their malware so the tools are being flagged. However, it is the old hammer argument. I can use a hammer to do good things like put nails in. I can also use it to hit someone. Is the hammer bad?
