Thanks for letting us know. We have had some issues with these Google reports. If anyone gets a genuine virus report please let us know immediately: otherwise, I am looking at it right now and can see no problems according to my security gear.

Yep, the zip seems fine, it passed all my tests too and the content looks fine. I don't know what your setup is but it is not impossible that some toe rag has tried to compromise your site or your host's site. Just in case u don't know, Google's webmaster support page is here:

I guess you could ask them to review this or get more info out of them as to why they tagged this link as malicious.
