Any thoughts on weather this is a false positive or a bad
mirror?


I suspect it's a false positive based on my own experience. You can probably 
get the same answer from their forums.

I've run into the same issues on a different (VB) program, one I wrote 
myself kept being tagged as a virus by Avira. I discovered finally that the 
reason was Avira at that time detected a setup.exe file in an unexpected 
location but it never said so. It just dug up a name and said I was infected 
by xxxx. After some hair pulling and digging I discovered it was triggering 
on a setup.exe in the VB folder.
   First I deleted the file and the problem went away. Put the file back, 
problem came back. Moved the file to Program Files and the problem stayed 
gone!
   Avira was declaring a virus based simply on PATH! Then from reading the 
groups there I decided Avira was using their install base to do BETA testing 
with but not saying so ... I got a support guy to admit it in so many words. 
That was the last time I used Avira!

HTH,

Twayne`
