It's probably a false positive, unless you have malware on your system that's spreading.

There's a site called Virus Total that will let you get the file tested by

AhnLab-V3
AntiVir
Authentium
Avast
AVG 8.0.0.161
BitDefender
CAT-QuickHeal
ClamAV
DrWeb
eSafe 7.0.17.0
eTrust-Vet
Ewido
F-Prot
F-Secure
Fortinet
GData
Ikarus
K7AntiVirus
Kaspersky
McAfee
Microsoft
NOD32
Norman
Panda
PCTools
Prevx1
Rising
SecureWeb-Gateway
Sophos
Sunbelt
Symantec
TheHacker
TrendMicro
VBA32
ViRobot
VirusBuster

I just tested the uninstall for the release candidate I have installed and it found nothing.

Your system maybe already infected, when you initiate a download, it can try and piggy back some nasty exploits.

There are some really clever little blighters out there atm. Some download and compile in your desktop icon cache, others will use the IE cache, if you have Firefox installed and use it. Best thing, clear your IE cache and make it zero in size.

...they have a Friday afternoon beer bash, and don't clean up after themselves.

Disgusting.

Funny thing with Kaspersky.. I wanted to change my virus checker, so downloaded and installed Kaspersky, the current virus checker shouted VIRUS in the download packet, ignored and uninstalled, installed Kaspersky and guess what it found...... a virus in the Kaspersky download package.. Later press release by Kaspersky, stated it did indeed have an infection lol...

Ok, before you panic, or Kaspersky sue me... it was back in the dark ages, when windows was known by numbers.. 95 to be exact.
