Now I'm on a big screen, and can have a look at this in more detail.

There's such gems like the following:

URL:
http://download.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v2.8/windows/gimp-2.8.14-setup-1.exe
(AV positives: 1/68 scanned on 07/13/2016 03:54:27)

So this seems to rely on scans made more than three years ago, and
triggers even if one of them indicates a positive...

VirusTotal says that this file is clean, btw:

NB:
Some older versions have known CVEs, but anyone concerned about that and
using old releases deliberately should be aware of those.
