This utility was originally mentioned on techsupportalert.com. I just received email explaining some things about VirusTotal which were quite enlightening. Based on that email it seems that this file may be okay.

"SecureAge APEX is an anti-malware scanning engine powered by artificial
intelligence and as such is about as useful as a paper bag in a thunderstorm.
“Sangfor Engine Zero uses the same technology. The CrowdStrike Falcon
‘detection’ is based on a confidence of 60%. You will need to read their
TOS to determine exactly what this means but usually it indicates that cloud
based engines have not before scanned the file or website in the case of a
URL. Webroot is the only known name among this bunch and like the others is
also riddled with false positives, this being one. A ‘.Gen’ detection is
generated when the scanning engine detects nothing but assumes it might be
malicious because it behaves like some other malicious software. In all the
years I’ve been doing this I’ve yet to understand why folks will actually
pay to install stuff like this. MC – Site Manager."

The file is safe.
Those are false positives.

And yes, MidnightCowboy is correct. I'm a member of Gizmo's Freeware Support Forum.
