A fresh download of FileBeat 5.2.2 (and prior downloads of it) are being flagged by Kaspersky A/V as being infected. It is saying that import\_dashboards.exe is infected with Trojan.Win32.Ebowla.aqv

Kaspersky's online scanner is located here: [https://virusdesk.kaspersky.com/](https://virusdesk.kaspersky.com/)

It's a false positive. Seems to happen to a lot of Go programs. [https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16292](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16292)
