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.

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
