It's possible that it could be infected, but on the other hand installers/uninstallers have been flagged as viruses in the past when they are not. You need to contact Josh @ Leadwerks ASAP.

-The mainstream virus scanners don't detect any virus.
-It is not uncommon for virus scanners to raise false alarms when scanning uninstall programs, since they access the registry.
-The only file his scanner detects is the uninstaller exe. This is a program the install program creates upon install, so the exe has actually never existed on my own hard drive. If it were a virus it would have to be a virus that infects the install maker I use, which creates noninfected installers, which in turn create an infected uninstaller. Needless to say, this is highly unlikely.
I think it is definitely a false alarm.

We've discussed this on the leadwerks forum, but for the benefit of the readers here:-The mainstream virus scanners don't detect any virus.
