I am a first time user of stack overflow, and a newbie programmer. I was looking for a free IDE and I came across Codelite. I downloaded it and ran it, but Kaspersky flagged codelite-terminal.exe and two programs in the program setup file as viruses. I downloaded it from the official source forge website. Please advise. Thank you for your time!!!

5You can get VS for free now--for the last few years in fact--in the form of VS "Community". https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/free-developer-offers-vs.aspx – Edward Strange Feb 27 '16 at 01:02

It does not contain any viruses. You can always download the code and search for them ;) - thats the beauty of open source
Don't believe everything Kaspersky tells you...

FYI, My corporate Symantec scanner also flagged codelite-cc. I don't believe codelite contains any virus. But once it's flagged, I can't use it on a work computer anymore. – Candy Chiu Apr 12 '16 at 13:21
