False positive.

Did we ever get MD5 hashes up on the downloads? Check and verify those. If they match, it's a false positive. It probably is anyway.

Why not?

MD5 is a hashing algorithm you should be familiar with before accusing a download of containing viruses.

If you download via the torrent you're pretty much guaranteed an error free copy...

If it still says there's an embedded virus, it's likely a false positive.

Read the FAQs!

That's a heuristic false positive. There are no viruses in the download.

Random side note, if you find yourself getting a lot of false positives (viruses on legitimate files), you may want to reconsider your choice of anti-virus.

Personally, i use Eset's NOD32, which is one of the leaders in the field.  They've got a tiny footprint (amount of resources taken), its damn near invisible unless a malicious file is detected, and the scans are extremely fast in comparison to many AV products out there.

Plus, it's not horrific like Symantec's offerings.
