G-Data?? Never heard about it. and I hate bit-defender. and also you can see that file has no virus but bit-defender got a trojan alert....

Bitdefender just warns for the tricky stuff inside the file, like every antivirus should do in this case. If it wouldn't ring a bell, it wouldn't go off with other injection code as well properly. Unblocking is easy and doesn't result in a loop of the file getting blocked again.
G-Data is German and does a pretty good job according to test results. I've never seen serious problems on a machine protected by G-Data (same for Kaspersky btw).
AVG however has a history of bugs in virus signatures which screw up the whole system and makes it detect itself as a virus. It also likes to fuck with peoples' minds asking tricky questions in order to persuade people to buy the 'complete package'. Sneaky programming, does also some calls to parties on the web you don't want to have on your system, so not trustworthy.
Avira tends to show a closed umbrella in the systemtray (seen it many times) telling it's not active, while the program itself says it's active. So what to believe? Not trustworthy programming.
And Avast is just very sluggish in detecting stuff. Run Avast for a month, then run Malwarebytes or HitmanPro just for fun, and see how much crap is on the system while Avast doesn't even detect it. You can have a sneaky proxy installed on your system guiding you to lot's of crap sites and redirecting your important traffic without Avast noticing it. Very bad.
So to those who rely on one of the bad examples above: change your protection policy
