      There have been some false-positive detections of viruses and other malware in the installer for Notepad++ and other programs by a couple of antivirus programs.  See, for example:

      "Files Falsely Detected as W32/Downloader2.AKG"
      http://forum.f-prot.com/index.php/topic,518.msg2887.html#msg2887

      So you might try again with updated definitions.

      However, I'd be cautious anyway.  I'm curious in posts like this: Where were the files downloaded from, originally?  --Joel
