gedit.exe possible virus?

I installed VLC Media player on my new Windows 7 box tonight from the downloadster.org website. I had to install a couple of programs I didn't want but I thought I would just uninstall them later. During the download I noticed Norton Security Suite checking a file called gedit.exe for a virus. It passed the file. I googled the file and one web site said it was a potential trojan that was part of Troj/QQPopoa-A password-stealing trojan. 

 

I don't know if the web site was just trying to sell me something or if the threat really existed. I didn't find anything on it in Norton's knowledgebase.  I tried to find the file on the hard drive and couldn't but since I'm brand new to W7 I wasn't sure if I was searching correctly or not. I removed the other two programs. 

 

Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks
