Thats where I got it and that is where I read the guy calling it a trojan. Look in the user reviews there.
OK .. I am not sure if we need to believe that or not
I see that review here http://download.com.com/3302-2085_4-10121832.html

I wouldn't be too concerned......it is available from Tucows and at least two other reputable shareware sites........all of whom do a through av scan of all software before they post it for download.......if you are still worried....download the file, unopened and then scan it with your desktop a/v (you are of course using a good daily-updated a/v, aren’t you) before installing it.
