If you're installing it directly from here on a clean PC, false positive. See here:

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!
