Self-updating code is used in a lot of viruses and can cause false positives.
The first thing you should do when you get a virus alert it run a dozen other virus scanners on the file.

I did fix the latest binary link still pointing to old release scheme, yes. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to work on wrt this.
I am kinda curious tho if avira gets all excited about the springlobby_updater.exe because of the filename or some real code heuristic or something else entirely. Would be nice if someone could check that out.
