Well, according to virustotal.com (I had never heard of this site, it 
runs 43 different virus scanners on an uploaded file), the only scanner 
which finds a possible virus is AVG.  The AVG result is termed 
"suspicion", not "virus found".  This seems more like a false positive 
to me.

The question is not "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart", but "Has
Jesus accepted you into His heart?"; not "have you given your whole
life for God", but "has God given His whole life for you"
