I'm getting a virus warning from my nod32 while trying download gpu-z in any of the mirros:

I highly doubt that any of the mirrors contain a virus. I've downloaded it from the first mirror and had no problems.

Best way to verify a file if it has a virus or not is to upload the suspicious file to this site: http://www.virustotal.com/ and it will scan the file with its 38 scanners to see if it's really a virus or not (make sure to click reanalyze file).

edit:

I just scanned the file, here are the results: http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/ef5a050f6dbc3f4502184338d16005e9

3/38 says its a suspicious file...the rest 35 says its clean.

So it's a false positive.

thank you very much, i was getting paranoid because my nod32 never show any false-positive beside this, i just confirmed with another pc with nod32 getting the same warning.
