Possible Antivirus False Positive

Upon trying to download the source code for unetbootin from sourceforge. http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/549/unetbootin-source-549.zip I receive an antivirus report Report: TR/Drop.Alureon.T.8

Unnetbootin is a popular and well established project, so I highly doubt AV alert, but I don't want to white list it until I know for sure. Can you guys help me look into this or help direct me. At minimal can you give me more information on the def. for "TR/Drop.Alureon.T.8" so look further into the matter.

Also, do you know if this would be an Avira or clam detection so I can report a False Positive if it is.

Humm... I never really thought about it before but you can't choose what AV to enable or disable, just choose to use one or two. I think I will suggest a feature.

The logs don't help either, engine="Astaro-AV"

If that is Avira, I will report a false positive to them, but virus total did not list Avira as an engine it used, so please just confirm that it is detected it with Avaira as well before I report a false positive to them.

Thanks
