False positives for Gmail Growl

The recent version V1.2 of Gmail Growl causes several anti-virus programs to show virus warnings. These are false positives! I use AutoIt to make Gmail Growl and it seems that the software compression packer of AutoIt is causing the false positive.

I replaced the download with a new version created without the software compression packer.

NOD32 still identifies the latest MSIs as a Win32/Packed.Autoit.Gen virus/trojan.
