Avira is finding the following in the download pkg:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: A virus or unwanted program has been found in the HTTP Data.

Requested URL: http://forums.pligg.com/attachments/...-cms-1.0.0.zip
Information: Contains recognition pattern of the HTML/Infected.WebPage.Gen HTML script virus


-------------------------------------------------------------------

A quick followup -- a bit of research uncovered that this Avira alert is probably related to a script in the file that is "typical" of malware. There was some extended discussion of this on sites that ran some useful tracking scripts. However, it would be nice to know what script or code in the file is generating the alert.

This has already been covered.

It's a false positive from a chat module. There is no virus.
