Downloaded the latest release yesterday (dnetc518-win32-x86.zip), and upon extraction, McAfee popped up with a Trojan alert. Not a big deal, happens sometimes these false positives do.
So I sent the file through Virus Total, and to my amazement, it was flagged by 17/42 anti-virus programs, which is a 40.5% failure rate.
Here are the tabulated results....formatting will probably be terrible, but its a line-by-line result set, so still readable:
