[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

my antivirus scans continually show Gzip as containing
TrojanDownloader:HTML/Elshutilo.Ayet i can't remove it because of something
called trusted installer. the antivirus program "removes" the virus but at
the next scan it is still/again there. please advise how to get rid of
this. thank you

I'm afraid you're writing to the wrong place; we merely maintain the 
upstream source code and do not generate the binary executable that your 
software is complaining about. I suggest writing to whoever generated 
the program you're actually running. Or pedrhaps you can write to 
whoever is maintaining your antivirus software.
