This is indeed truly the file signed by Werner's dist sig key:

$ gpg2 --verify gnupg-w32-2.1.18_20170123.exe{.sig,}
gpg: Signature made Mon 23 Jan 2017 22:12:23 CET
gpg:                using RSA key D8692123C4065DEA5E0F3AB5249B39D24F25E3B6
gpg: Good signature from "Werner Koch (dist sig)" [full]
gpg: werner koch (dist sig): Verified 1 signature in the past 5 minutes, and
     encrypted 0 messages.
$ sha256sum gnupg-w32-2.1.18_20170123.exe
1fd01e24f65465dfd075b8ad55a58eaee13e79c02c42096c325a7ccf5a1eb283  gnupg-w32-2.1.18_20170123.exe

(albeit that you accidentally typed a 9 in the date in the filename)

I suspect it's a false positive, but somebody else will need to check.

HTH,

Peter.
