I just installed 1.7.1 of TGEA and I'm seeing a virus alert popping up
Trojan Generic12.HTC - uninst-tsdk.exe
is this a spurious message?

Its not a virus. Many people have got this, even I have and I can tell you theres no virus.

It keeps spotting uninstallers (not just GG's, winamp, notepad C++, plenty more) as virus when they aren't. They actually fixed it a month or 2 back, but have obviously undone that with their latest update.
When in doubt, I always find a quick online scan with housecall.trendmicro.com/ helps to put one's mind at peace.

That's more of the free version of AVG's false-positives.It keeps spotting uninstallers (not just GG's, winamp, notepad C++, plenty more) as virus when they aren't. They actually fixed it a month or 2 back, but have obviously undone that with their latest update.
