Hi Satya, welcome to TSF

If NOD32 is flagging the file as potentially infected, why would you want to continue downloading it? The whole point of antivirus software is to prevent infections.

Have you tried any alternative sources for the file? Do you get the same message?

NewHeur_PE virus
File marked as "NewHeur_PE virus" was detected using broad heuristics because it contains parts of code typical of worm infiltrations spread over the internet. Using this method NOD32 was able to identify worms Win32/Zafi.B, Win32/Mydoom.R, Win32/Bagle.X and many others.

What to do when NOD32 detects a "Probably unknown..." virus?
Please email the file to sample@nod32.com. If you are sure that this is a "false alarm", include also a description of the program the file belongs to (product name, its purpose, creator, and the URL for the product's website).
