LimeWirwe is open source so it is possible for someone to change it and add a virus or spy ware to it. So if you got it from anywhere but the official site it is possible for it to container a virus. But if your virus detector says the official version has a virus then it is giving you a false positive report

People are downloading from the official site.
You are talking crap if you think the official site does not contain spyware, virus etc when it not only can but does.
