A: This is with very high probability a false positive! The archive contains compiled AutoIt3 scripts, which some antivirus programs generally detect as malware. You can verify the clean status of the scripts (*.au3) by compiling them yourself using the AutoIt3 compiler (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/). Alternatively, upload the downloaded archive to a site like VirusTotal (http://virustotal.com) or Jotti (http://virusscan.jotti.org) and let it be scanned by a multitude of antivirus engines. Additionally, many antivirus suites have the possibility to send the presumed false positives to the author, either manually over a web form/email or automatically within the program. This will improve detection abilities of these products.
