This is a common error on bitcoin clients that have built in miners.

For your virus concern, know that this is an issue with Anti-Virus programs detecting it as a virus. It's a false positive. Bitcoin and ALL other altcoins have the exact same thing.

Read here: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/issues/1472

Extract "That's called a false positive. Many AV's flag Bitcoin Core and related software as a trojan because it looks for a wallet.dat file. This is what it is supposed to do as it is the creator of the wallet.dat file and uses it."

Yes, my McAfee antivirus put the file on quarantine, i had to restore it and then turn off real time scanning for 15 minutes and then installed without trouble.
Thank you for the explanation
