There were a few single reports about Symantec reporting a virus. However, it is highly unlikely that the executable is infected, because it is now about 9 months old, during this time it was installed and is used by a few thousand people. The executable was build on a Linux computer and the installer was built on a dedicated virtual Windows machine, which is exclusively started and used for building the msi-file and for testing, whether the msi works.
I assume that it is a false alert or that the file got infected after unpacking it from the msi.
For the upcoming version I will publish the MD5 hash codes of the installer files to allowing checking, whether they
are still the original ones.
