No need for any further investigation. I installed the 32-bit form the 7z file, which does not require elevated privileges, for peace of mind.

Yes, I have installed both. Only the 32-bit gives positives.


Indeed very strange.  Are you fine with with 64-bit versions then, or do you want to further investigate the 32-bit versions?  In the case of the "dbus-test-tool.exe", to my knowledge both versions are build from the same official sources [1,2].  Maybe you can experiment building [2] on Windows in a way that "Comodo" does not recognize the 32-bit version as virus and we can improve our recipe [1] accordingly.

Best,
Kai
