IIRC it's already changed. But it seems very unlikely given it is compiled on wine on a dedicated user ... conceivably it could be infected if the compiler was infected when I downloaded it but I'd think we'd have heard about that before now; and it seems very unlikely anyway. IMHO it is more likely that either: - It is a false positive. Scan it with a different anti-virus program. IMHO this is the most likely reason; some virus signatures are very broad and pick up things they shouldn't. OR: - The file was tampered with before it got to you e.g. by a malicious proxy. If you can get a copy on a clean system, it would be useful if you could compute ths SHA1 or SHA256 hash of the file, or just upload it somewhere, so we can compare it to the original.
