Im getting so d*mn frustrated by these ridiculous antivirus false alarms by lazy companies like Kaspersky.. I can't tell you how angry i am at these companies.
You are right to be cautious and to ask about it -- but it is a false alarm, there is no virus in the program. The best way to double check such things is to check the file in question with a site like VirusTotal:
http://www.virustotal.com/Such sites use multiple engines to reduce the risk of false positives.
Never trust an antivirus tool that tells you it thinks it has identified some unknown or suspicious file using some "advanced heuristic" mode -- thats just their way of saying "we want to win the award for most viruses detected and we dont care how many false alarms we generate"
In a day or so, like ALWAYS, kaspersky will fix their database and the warning will go away, but not after scaring thousands of people. And then they will do it again in a month or so.
I've contacted them about it -- you could help out by sending the program to them through kaspersky to help them correct their database, step by step instructions here:
