received a threat notice when trying to download latest version of sc......Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] is a threat identified by Avast Anti-virus products. This is a typical malware that targets the core system of Windows in order to complete its tasks. Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] was made to execute a series of commands once it gets inside the system. It will gather data like system settings, Windows version, network configuration, and so on. Collected data will be sent to remote attacker for analysis.

true hit or false?

This is a false positive. Sierra Chart can never be malware. We will explain this a little later as to why not.

We realize that it is the NSIS installer which is causing this. It has been reported here:

Clearly it is a false positive because we see numerous other discussions on the Internet relating to this.

Here's another similar report:
https://github.com/erengy/taiga/issues/19

Here is an analysis by many anti-malware programs:

Only 3 of 55 detected something and those that did, are looking for nothing more than a pattern and not a specific malicious program.
