As stated by imagine002, some portable programs may have characteristics similar to those of a virus. But even more importantly, virus scanners carry virus signatures. If one of these is recognized by another antivirus, even if its purpose is to clean, it may still be flagged.
Also, it's always advisable to consider the source. Which scanners flagged the program? Were they established names, or were they little-known, fledgling companies? It takes time to refine heuristics and reduce false positives. -
As a portable application, it has several attributes that may make it look like a virus. (executable file on a portable device that scans, deletes, and write files) A virus is something harmful to your computer. If this doesn't harm your computer, it's not a virus.
