Web Shield virus alert on Apple iCloud PC download site

Viruses and worms
1

Hi guys,
I use Avast free on a Windows 7 laptop, and browse with Firefox.
We’ve just got an iPhone and are setting up iCloud. I went to this website: http://supportdownload.apple.com/download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/Mac_OS_X/downloads/041-9471.20121220.Ckdr4/iCloudSetup.exe

Web Shield then reported the page contained the following virus: Win32:Evo-gen [Susp] (0)

I searched this forum on the above and it sounds horrible! Thanks for blocking it! I would still like to download the iCloud PC app, though, so what should I do? Also, if it’s a not a false positive, shouldn’t we (I?) tell Apple?

BTW, this is my first post on any forum anywhere! (Cherry popped at 51 yrs of age!)

Thanks

Tim

Thanks, Pondus

I will report it as a possible FP.

After the next avast definitions update, should I try the same website again?

Also, who tells the web domain owner (Apple) if they are sending out a virus?
