If it would be a false positive, you would be safe, I am not sure it is. Have you tried doing a full scan with your anti-virus software and Malwarebytes? Did they pop up a false positive as well? It is always best to check with multiple anti-malware software before jumping conclusions.

After the posted logs, can you try launching the application in "Safe Mode" see if it works then? If it does, try to do a scan with both software.

Could you try restarting your PC in safe mode with networking, install Malwarebytes, do a full scan with them and then attempt to scan with AdwCleaner.
Before that, you could also use RKill to kill any malicious software before using anti-malware. Let me know if this helps.
