I've just tried to install the TRX-1E software from the official Whistler website and my PC flags up that a virus has been detected in it.

Doubtful, but I guess it is possible. What specific download location did you use?

My normal download folder.This isn't the first time I've downloaded something from an official website where the program has contained a virus.
Actually contained a virus, or received a false positive? Just because your virus software says it detected a virus doesn't mean there actually is one, could be an unsigned program, could be a false positive.

You can scan the file online with several virus scanners:
virusscan.jotti.org
Jotti's malware scan
virusscan.jotti.org

Why in the world would it matter or would I ask where you downloaded it to on your pc? I wanted to verify you used the correct source to download from. But more than likely it’s your AV software throwing a false positive.

Obviously you didn't read that I said I downloaded from the official website.Mentioning where I downloaded it to was the only other possible answer considering the information I had given?

I had to get rid of my McAfee antivirus software. It gave false positives and wouldn't allow me to run several scanner software programs.

Yeah, I’m out.
"official website" doesn't specify which website, @jtwalker was trying to help and make sure it came from the Whistler Downloads Site before he made a comment about it being safe. But, hey, guess everyone sees things differently.
