I just downloaded the free version of FileZilla client and ran it in VirusTotal and it showed potential malicious software.
See attached png file. This threat is adware and I think it is because I downloaded a free version. A warning would be nice about this.

This is a false-positive, there is no malware in the installer. You need to report it to your AV vendor.
