Re: Virus??!!
Probably a false positive warning. You can ignore it or download the Mac version, that one does not need the installer/uninstaller.
See the FAQ:
_macosx.zip = Installer for Garmin BaseCamp/RoadTrip (Mac OSX) (up to 4 GB)
Unzip it and place the .gmap folder to the default Garmin map folder. The location of this folder depends on the Windows version.
In Windows 8, 7 or Vista this directory is: C:\ProgramData\GARMIN\Maps or C:\Users{user}\AppData\Roaming\GARMIN\Maps.
Windows XP: c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\garmin\maps
Please note these are hidden system folders, make it visible first!
Or you can use http://www.javawa.nl/gmtk_en.html to install the gmap maps.

It's a false positive. But if you want to be sure, upload the uninstall.exe to virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/nl/ which will check it against many virusscanners.

Re: Virus??!!
Symantec Endpoint Protection also found this virus in three "uninstall.exe" files on my computer today. (Un?)fortunately, Symantec deleted the file and I am not able to check it as suggested above. These three uninstall files were downloaded to my computer in September 2013, and March and May 2014.

Re: Virus??!!
Symantec probably quarantined the file. You should be able to find it using the Symantec user interface.
