The Baidu one is a false positive
The detection usually occurs in Open Source Softwares, on how the distribution or handling of the software is being done. I've found that some software downloaded form Github and Fosshub are likely to be marked as "Multi.Threats.InArchive"
The entire code of LMMS is found in GitHub.
However, in the case of Win32 Heur Virus,
According to Techwalla.com:
Where have you downloaded LMMS? There's a possibility of the installer being infected if you downloaded it in unofficial download sites, other than in lmms.io.How It Is Acquired
There are three main ways for the Win32 Heur to infect a machine. Online P2P networks like Bearshare and Limewire put the computer at risk. Usually, the virus is packaged into a .exe file or a video codec. The second way is through the installation of free or low-cost programs; sometimes these programs are free for a reason. And the third way a computer becomes infected is by visiting an infected website that force-downloads the virus. Indicators that this is occurring are multiple pop-up windows and rapid browser redirection, preventing a real-time response and allowing the virus to sneak into the machine.
If you downloaded it here and you got the virus, you may contact an administrator.
