Virus or False Positive? (Latest VLC build)

Just had F-Secure AV light up on me when I installed the latest VLC build, anyone else seen this?

False Positive

If you're installing it directly from here on a clean PC, false positive. See here:
http://portableapps.com/support#false_positive

If you used it on an infected PC, it could be infected once installed. Reinstall and check again. Then compare to online antivirus links from the above link to verify. When you confirm it is a false positive in F-Secure, please let them know as they've had issues in the past.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
