I used the following download link: http://http.distributed.net/pub/dcti/current-client/dnetc-win32-x86.zip And the file that McAfee flagged on my PC was dnetc.com It was at that point I uploaded the entire zip file to Virus Total and got the results previously mentioned.

Not a big deal, happens sometimes these false positives do. Which file in the distribution? Most virus detectors tag the dnet SCR screen saver file as a Trojan. Periodically, they flag dnetc.exe as one too. Might be time to do another letter writing campaign to the AV vendors. "No, Dnet is not a virus/trojan... Thousands of us run it willingly" -- Best regards, Kevin G.
