What do you mean everywhere?

Most of the AV databases are flagging Ufasoft as a "possible threat" because it is being used in a trojan package as the miner for their botnet.

The theory is that if you know nothing about bitcoin and you find this program on your machine you know you have an issue.
Does this mean the Ufasoft miner is a virus? I still don't think so... but... I can't say for sure it isn't.

Ikarus (the av engine I use) labels it as "possible-Threat.Win32.BitCoinMiner", they originally labeled it as a Trojan but changed it to "possible threat" after many submitted it for analysis.

If you are wondering why you even have Ufasoft miner on your machine if you don't use it... it used to be included in Kiv's GUIMiner package (he has removed it from the package due to this alerting issue in the most current version, although it is still supported by GUIminer, you just need to download it separately now).
