Looks like a "generic" trojan detection, which is likely a false positive, considering how strict Avira's detection heuristics are. You may want to try some online scanners for your own peace of mind, but I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

False positive.

crypt/xpack only means that the binary is compressed.

Thiev: False positive.
That's exactly what a hacker would say...

Which makes it annoying when you want to rely on using UPX or other packers to save space...

"Hidden and dangerous"? That's the definition of a virus.

How is this ^^^ "correct" or even related?

There are a lot of different algorithms to compress executables, so do a lot of worms and trojans to propagate themselves easier/faster, and Avira is known for producing a lot of false positive. It's rather aggressive when it comes to it's heuristic pattern search. Of course, a worm or a trojan could have infected the file, but just delete it and download the file again if you want to be sure.

That said, don't really trust GoG as they walk in the shadow, waiting for the day when Red and Green, together, can dominate every computer in the world :-P
