Avira claims viruses in player downloads..?

I like to watch the occasional streamed film from the Net but lately Avira has been flashing up alerts that 'a virus was detected' when I've tried to download e.g. VLC or Xvid software.
Needless to say, I've always gone for the 'deny access' option but this has meant an end to my filmwatching ambitions.
Any idea what's happening?
