Like i said it's detecting the use of the Adodb.Stream ActiveX control and assuming it's malware. The reason for this is technically if you had a really unsecure browser and my gadget was infact a website then it could download programs onto your computer without you knowing. The issue is that the AV is assuming my gadget is a website and therefore must be trying to do something it's not allowed to. You can try to contact me (my email address is in the gadget settings pages), but I'll be the same person on this blog as i am via email. Anyway, to summarise, the gadget will not download malicious files onto your computer, the AV is just confused.

One type of AV thinks that using a legitimate ActiveX control that is included with Windows makes it into a virus. It's normally my use of using ActiveXObject("Adodb.Stream") to download the plugins off the internet that makes it think there's a virus. Feel free to uninstall the gadget, but it's been on the Live gallery for over a year now, if it has a virus it would get pulled instantly.
