Does netbeans IDE contain a virus?

Tags:

netbeans-8

I was looking at installing Netbeans 8.2 for working with PHP, java, HTML, etc. for various projects. However, when I download the installer both firefox and chrome inform me that the installer contains a virus. Is this a real problem?

It must be a false positive. The SHA-256 checksum matches with the provided one in netbeans.org

It's a false positive, plus you can also download a zip file from netbeans.org/downloads/zip.html
