I was able to download the file at the time and confirm there was no malware embedded.
I just got a response from the vendor/MSFT temp following up on my support request that they've reviewed the contents and there was never malware included; they seem to have made some changes to the download process, so I no longer get a malware warning downloading the identical file.
False positives are a lot better than the reverse :)

Hi Ted!
In the case that FoxBin2Prg is taken offline, you always can download the source code from the VFPx repositories (the EXE is there too) or from github.
Best Regards.-

Following up, I got a generic response from an account listed as an MSFT vendor saying I could open up an issue in the issue tracker or follow up in the discussion forum for the product. A few minutes later I got the message that "Sorry, we now are considering it is a real issue. We will inform you when it is resolved."
So, my apologies if Fox2Bin gets taken offline for a false positive. Better to be cautious and all that...

In Chrome to download anyway you must go into All downloads page.

Yep, I think so, too. I should have said, "Malware WARNING..." for the
subject.
Strange that FireFox and Chrome have some built-in checks that flag .ZIP files from codeplex or something.
There was no obvious "Download and take your chances" option, though I can likely dig through the browser options dialogs to tone it down.

Hi Ted,
I have downloaded it, despite the warning, and then I have analized
the content with Windows 10 Windows Defender and MalwareBytes Antimalware and it seems ok.
Same here with Firefox and McAfee. Maybe an overzealous AV is triggering a false positive.
