There are false positives. Commercial software pay (a ransom 
) to antivirus publishers to have their stuff whitelisted, a luxury that Gimp development cannot afford. When several antivirus all agree, then you can start to worry. AFAIK there has been another warning, but it was about another virus.
If you checked the MD5 hash of the installer against the one published on https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ you should be good to go.
