Yep that is the one.

Why would they release a wallet without first checking its virus status.   Dumb.  

i think they are false positive i see them many times in many wallet
Thanks. But I would like to know how do you know that is false positive or true positive. How to check it?

Most wallets and miner programs trigger the Bitcoinminer Trojan flag in antivirus software. In the past, people programed malware that made people mine bitcoins against their will. Since the same lines of code that enable you to mine this coin are very similar to the mining code used in these Botnet malware, the antivirus programs are going to flag them.
If you want to be extra cautious, learn to compile these programs yourself and run them under sandboxie or a virtual machine under Ubuntu.
