Absolutely not. That's a false positive caused by the SetHandler.exe that's included in the zip.

SetHandler is used if you want to register GopherBrowser as the handler for gopher:// links - it adds some values and keys to the Classes_Root registry hive, which is probably why it's being flagged as a false positive by only 1 out of 61 AntiVirus products.

Rescan just GopherBrowser.exe and it will be clean.

If SetHandler.exe worries you, just delete it.

Instead of just posting 'hmm' and trying to discredit my work, how about you actually ask why it flagged, or better yet do proper analysis on the files and comment accordingly.

I run a clean ship, there is no way I'd release virus-laden software with or without my name on it.
