[8.161][BUG][CLOSED] AV false positive check

When trying to download the .zip version of the unetbootin source code from sourceforge ASG reports "The item you have requested is infected by a virus. It will not be downloaded. TR/Drop.Alureon.T.8"

The tar.gz version of the source passes fine. I find it hard to believe that the zip is actually infected. If somebody who knows what they are doing could confirm or deny it

if you believe that's a false positive report it to the vendor (Avira) as it's not ASG bug

in addition to that, we would at least need to to know the download mirror that you got the file from.
