There is a strong possibility you got a false postive.  Several virus
scanners have taken a dislike to some of the freely available uninstall
programs and over the years many open source programs have been
mislabelled as viruses. If you could double check this or if someone else
could check it agianst another virus scanner that would be a help.

If we are going to continue to distribute Windows Executables we might
want to run it by an open source virus scanner (like possibly Clam AV).
