The point of the
FAQ is that as long as you are downloading calibre from the proper source then Kaspersky is reporting a false positive.
Posted from the FAQ for others to view.

You can actually browse the source code yourself (or hire someone to do it for you) to verify that it is not a virus. Please report the false identification to whatever company you buy your antivirus software from. If the antivirus program is preventing you from downloading/installing calibre, disable it temporarily, install calibre and then re-enable it.

You can over come this false positive by
following the directions on Kaspersky's site.
Even if you just roll back to the previous version you should still
follow these directions and report the false positive to Kaspersky.
