Today I have downloaded the latest version of dbForge for MySQL from the official download location, Russian localization. The installer is not signed, so I cannot confirm that it was not modified by an evil MITM in transit. Also, on VirusTotal, Antiy-AVL engine detects a Trojan inside. Please see
VirusTotal analysis for dbForge for MySQL 6.0.265

The tunnel.php file is included into the product installation file. It allows creating connection to MySQL server using HTTP. Interaction with MySQL server via PHP is performed through sockets. It seems that this antivirus considered it dangerous and that's why showed a warning.
Besides, on the hosting of our site the McAfee Antivirus is installed, and it is impossible to upload files with viruses.

Why don't you sign your installer with Authenticode certificate?

We are going to sign the installer in the nearest future.
