PUPs are being launched from that IP, see: http://www.herdprotect.com/ip-address-162.221.200.40.aspx
and precisely for that kind of executable.
URLquery als flags as malicious this link: https://urlquery.net/report.php?id=1442502408351
So a false positive is less likely in pup-mode. File is not certified which is a complicating factor.
