Virus alert when installing JDK with NetBeans

957293Aug 22 2012 — edited Aug 22 2012

I am new to Java programming. Yesterday I downloaded and installed jdk-7u6-nb-7_2-windows-x64-ml.exe from the Oracle site. During installation, my anti-virus program quarantined the NetBeans 7.2\uninstall.exe file, saying that it contained the Gen:Heur.Minggy.1 virus. What should I do? Is this a real threat, or a false positive?

I use an uncommon antivirus program, SecureIT (supplied by my ISP).

Thanks,
Cliff
