Anything Else?
As long as you downloaded it from a legitimate source, it's not a virus.
Java programs are very frequently falsely flagged by antivirus programs, and they in general are extremely ineffective for actual Minecraft malware. If it's flagging on your machine, just mark it as a false positive assuming you've obtained it from a legitimate source.
