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.
