It's a false positive, some recent code changes could of caused some anti-virus software to falsely detect Dolphin as a Virus. You can be sure as long as you download builds from members listed on this site and official bi-weekly builds that they are 100% clean.
More than likely it isn't a problem with Dolphin, you'll need to contact your anti-virus vendor to inform them of this false positive, more than likely a bugged update for the anti-virus is causing some legit applications to be detected as a virus.
