Malware warning?

Attempted to install the new version and my antivirus is convinced that it's malware. Has the server been compromised or is my antivirus being overly vigilant?

I frequently get a "Low Reputation" warning from my anti-virus program when I install new releases like this, so you might want to check and see what the warning is.
For example, my Avast scanning may give a "FileRepMalware" warning, which just means the file reputation is low (meaning it is a fairly new file). Usually after a few days, it seems they have seen enough downloads of the file and the warning goes away.
So you're most likely just seeing the same "low reputation" warning

I'm having the same issue.
AVG keeps sending it to quarantine.
So i cant even install it.

Ya I had to turn Avast off for 10 minutes until I got 4.0 installed. It is fine as far as Malware goes.
