I think that you (DavidAU) are confused about something.
Take a look at all the transactions at that address. Every time bitcoins are sent to it, they are soon sent somewhere else. Why is that? How is the 8 BTC transaction any different from any of the others?
I don't know why the bitcoins were transferred, but it looks like it is completely normal. Perhaps you are confused about the address? Are you sure you own it? Maybe this is an exchange's address and the coins are getting sweeped into another address.
Also, does your wallet say that the 8 bitcoins are gone? The fact that they are no longer at that address doesn't mean they are gone. Do you understand the relationship between addresses and wallets, and how "change" is handled?

People here have to realize that the vulnerability is not the bitcoin network in itself, but rather the habits of the guy who owned the wallet he send bitcoins to. The only error here was human error.
I'm sorry for your loss, by the way.

thanks why I think, ironically, bitcoin will take off when there are 'bitcoin banks' that insure your coins
I think that the most reliable bank is yourself, if you are educated and careful.

or it will force people to realize just how important securing their computers is.
it is extremely important to secure everything and know what your doing.
the thieves make it easier to lose your coins every day. two clicks in the wrong place on your browser and your wallet is gone.
call CSI
Those transactions happened like this:

The coins were sent 13 blocks later or about 2 hours (or according to the time only 1 hour later.)
Does your bitcoin-qt have a password?
Lesson of the day. For new coins, use brand new addresses from brand new wallets. Either discard old ones, or consolidate all of them into an old-wallet.dat file just for checking purposes (if someone sends you coins to those old addresses.)
You can use pywallet to merge wallets, I think, and you should have no problem with wallets that are 10,000 keys big. But you wouldn't want to use that for your personal money. You'd just want to check those once a month maybe. Or less often.

To go forward what about a biometric lock... fingerprint scanners are getting really cheap, and or a credit card reader modded to use bit coins....

Just get a big usb memory stick and boot linux (ubuntu etc.) from it, use it only for accessing your bitcoin wallet, throw it in a fire proof safe when you're done.

Are these false positives?

whois,...
Well the plan was to split the 8 bitcoins up and send them to a number of smaller paper wallets when I received them but they were gone before I had the chance. 
I'm assuming for now that guiminer-scrypt is just a false positive so I still have no idea how this has actually happened.

Yes, all Bitcoin mining softwares are detected by AV's. At least they warn you about it. It's expected.
Is that wallet a new one, created by Bitcoin-qt? Have you ever added private keys to it, private keys that you took from someplace and forgot to label them as such and now you used that address to get those coins?
If this is true, someone should report this to moderators and warn other people
What can the moderators do? As for warning other people, well, you have this thread. But I'm not quite sure what you want to warn them about. He received Bitcoins at one address and they were sent out of that address 1 hour later or so, maybe when the other person who owns the same address private key noticed he had 8 BTC more than supposed.
Man, that sucks...
Also be aware that if someone managed to get ahold of your wallet in the past (!) or got ahold of an old backup of your wallet, he/she will also be able to access your funds added to existing addresses after that point in time. This is often overlooked. So there doesn't even need to be malware on your PC right now, instead it could already have happend weeks or months ago, depending on your wallet's age.

not that this helps you, but for the future , I would never run any of this stuff on a computer that has my wallet. I bought a 2nd pc to mine on, and run these things.... the wallet stays on my 'safe' computer

might be false positives,....... if someone downloaded them from 2 + mirrors and compared exe's, and they are different, then mabye 1 is virus

if you really didn't send those 8 bitcoins your self, there is nothing else to say - your money is lost
