Just to inform:
Just installed 1Password 5 for Mac. F-Secure reports it as infected:

/Applications/1Password 5.app/Contents/Helpers/1Password Updater.app/Contents/Resources/Credits.rtf
/Applications/1Password 5.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits.onepassword4-helper.app/Contents/Resources/Credits.rtf
/Applications/1Password 5.app/Contents/Resources/Credits.rtf

Suspicious:W32/Riskware.9d938d98ae!Online

Why?

1Password Version: 5.4
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: osx 10.11
Sync Type: dropbox

    hi @htnijhof ,

    Every A/V product will eventually incorrectly categorize some file as malware. This is called a False Positive, and it happens routinely.

    You can double check, to give yourself comfort, against other virus scanners at places like http://jotti.org or http://www.virustotal.com - upload the flagged file and see what others report.

    You should report the incorrectly flagged file to your A/V vendor. In this case, see F-Secure's false positive page.
