Dr. DivX uninstall file a trojan?

I'm using a Norwegian antivirus program called Norman 'cause I got it for free. And today it for some reason recognised the Dr.DivX uninstall file Remove.exe, located in the folder C:\Programfiler (that's Program Files)\DivX\Dr. DivX 2.0 OSS as a trojan. This, of course, has me baffled. I've had Dr. DivX for a long time, but now Norman identifies the uninstall setup file as a trojan all of a sudden. My antivirus is probably just identifying something completely harmless. However, on the other hand, why now? If it was to mistake it for something dangerous why hasn't it found it until now, you know? So just to be sure I want to hear your opinion.

Appreciate it. :)
You can go to http://virusscan.jotti.org , click on Browse, and upload the file for analysis:

Then click Submit. Allow the file to be scanned, and then please copy and paste the results here for me to see.
Unfortunately, there's no way I can do that. Norman put the file in quarantine. I released it from quarantine and I got a warning immediately after I'd done it, followed by Norman automatically putting it back into quarantine. There was no option of whether to ignore the warning or not. It just put it in quarantine again, and there was nothing I could do. The file was eventually automatically deleted by Norman after the 5th day of quarantine. And I downloaded a newer version of Dr. DivX from DivX.com, so I guess the problem is gone, really. But thanks for that link. I put it in my bookmarks. Now I know what to do the next time something like this happens. :)
