3 virus scanners (of the 20 used by that scanner) are reporting false positives with heuristic scans (that's what the "Heur" is in the name). Heuristic basically means "we know this scan is wrong, but most of the time it's good enough so we're going to use it anyway".

A common example is a shortest path algorithm, aka "pathing" -- how many times are you playing a game that the AI goes in a path where you can clearly see a better route? Like virus scanning, it's a hard problem so they take shortcuts to speed up the algorithm that are known to not be perfect.

So anyway, if you use one of those, disable it and update Inner Space, then re-enable it. You should also consider sending the sample (InnerSpace.dll) to the publisher of your virus scanner software so they can correct the issue
