Date and time of download: Thursday 6.6.2013 2 PM GMT-2

During installation, "F-Secure Client Security" virus scanner reports a Trojan
virus is found. The name of the virus is "Trojan.Generic.7617015" and the
description says it has not passed a generic virus test.

Is this a virus or a property of the exe-file compiled?

A screenshot of the found is attached and a checksum of the file is:
