Some customers have reported that their anti-virus systems have flagged the following file as malicious:

%PROGRAMFILES%\CAST\CastStorageService4\bin\wxmsw313ud_aui_vc_x64_custom.dll

This file is a certified .dll file provided by PostgreSQL (CAST Storage Service is a repackaged PostgreSQL database instance) and is used in the PGAdmin program delivered with CAST Storage Service 4.13.x and as such, this is a false positive report. If you are concerned, you should contact your anti-virus provider for further information.
