Question whitestonew-hardspl - Bloodhound.W32.EP ??

Has anyone else seen alert messages from their antivirus re HardSPL?
I'm thinking this is a false positive because I have Hueristic sensitivity set pretty high on my antivirus (Norton Internet Security 2010). I downloaded HardSPL twice and saved it to a directory intending to use it later and it has been found and deleted each time by Norton's idletime scan. I know this developer is held in very high esteem and has an excellent rep so it seems very unlikely that there would be a virus in the file.
Here's the log info:
d:\htc\imagio\roms\whitestonew-hardspl_v1_99r1_100hspl.zip

I know the instructions mentioned that an antivirus flag may occur during installation, but as mentioned, this was just sitting in a folder until I had time to install it.
Anyone else seen any 'false positives' with this file?
