But I'm barely going to begin the download and already my antivirus warns me there is a Trojan within the download file which is currently in megaupload.

of course it is!!! you are modifying the os! you are doing something the software devs never intented you to do. no one on this site will give you or direct you to a virus.

Yeah that is exactly what it is, the rooting process is done by whats called an exploit. you are breaking into your own phone. if you are uncomfortable proceeding go to method 4 in my tutorial....otherwise disable your AV and proceed
