Hi @sizy 458 , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please update your Visual Studio and create a new project to verify if it persists or not. 

Do you have any other antivirus?

If it is not detected as malicious by other antivirus, I suspect it is a false positive by VirusTotal. You can report it to VirusTotal team. 

Sincerely,

Anna
