WordPress.org/latest.zip is not corrupt.
I can confirm Lincoln Mullen’s findings. The zip appers to be corrupt, so it is either something wrong with the definition files or the wordpress zip is indeed corrupt. I guess I wil stick to 2.3 until this get’s sorted out.
I just downloaded, open just fine without virus.

I suppose it’s just a file that some scanners might find ‘suspected’. I had no problems myself.
It seems that the DE package ( wordpress-deutschland.org ) is still corrupt. I just upgraded one of my blogs and got the FTP error.
More details here (German)

Both files (interface.js and jquery.js) of the german version are absolutely identical with the official ones.
jah. Just got the same response from wordpress-deutschland.org
Still weird that my FTP server shows that warning when I upload the German latest.zip . It seems that there is no security risk even when this error message occurs.
A clamav scan of my box identified the following:

yes. At the site I posted above you can see that only clamav identifies the file as a virus. Somehow weird
I’m not sure what they did, but my host had to update cPanel. Something about clamav. Anyway, it works for me now that they’ve done the update.
Apparently that’s a false positive, nothing more.
