Vsphere - Virus

I am trying to connect to a VMware ESXi 6.0.0 - Build 2494585 host using Vsphere Client and when I try to connect to the host I get the following error and symantec also shows that a virus is trying to run.  Any thoughts?

it is 99% probable that this is a false positive whitelist the file
I do not have that file on *ANY* of my workstations, that Access VMware vSphere 3.5 - 6.x.

(Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 2008, Windows 2012).

I suggest you clean and disinfect your computer and then re-try.

The error you are getting is a generic error, caused when .NET framework is damaged, it's also rather suspicious, that the file is located in a temporary directory.

If you disable Anti-Virus, does the client connect ?
