This is most probably a false alarm. Therefore we are nevertheless offering the file for download but are also checking with the manufacturers of the anti-virus software. You should find an updated scan report in a few days at <http://www.heise.de/software/download/vlc_media_player/14724> (Download-Button).

Greetings,
your heise software team
