I can give you an opinion. During the times I've used a squared off and on over the years it's been around, it's not been shy with giving me false positives. Likes to flag safe system or other harmless files as malicious. Before letting it remove anything, I would investigate the file/s it's flagging, and maybe double check with another scanner/s, upload some of those files to virustotal and check against all the other scanners.
