Symantec Anti-virus is detecting Trojan.Zlob in Inkscape-0.44-1.win32.exe and also in uninst.exe once Inkscape is installed. I guess it has to do with a current update of the virus definitions because when I originally downloaded and installed Inkscape no virus was detected, however redownloading the binary immediately triggers the on-access scanner.
I hope this is a false positive, but I would appreciate this if you would investigate this. And may I suggest pulling the binary from Sourceforge in the meantime to prevent possible inflections?
To check, I just downloaded from sourceforge again.
The MD5 sum of the file I have is

ClamAV here on OS X says the file is clear. It appears that Zlob was first seen over a year ago. So with these factors, it's looking very much like you have a false positive.
Oh, and for reference, that name you have reported to you gives us these details: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.zlob.html
