Possible Antivirus False Positive

mos4567
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.

    Look forward to Astaro implementing SOPHOS engine now that they are one family.

    I do Not like Avira (I always test those spammed links in IRC purposely click to download, Never caught by Avira or ClameAV, often Symantec on the machine itself) , I hate ClamAV even more (A real paypal website, it always report infected)

    I miss those Kaspersky days too but it is game over now that SOPHOS is in charge.

    So here is the follow up. Avira responded to the sample I submitted after they reviewed it and said that they have in fact found "malicious code" in the sample and have decided that is is "malware" so IDK, no real details just their findings.
