It depends where you DLed the game from. If you DLed the game from the official website, then there are no viruses and your AV is just giving back a "false positive". That sometimes happens because AVs are designed to pick up certain values that are similar or commonly used by viruses. In this case, there is a folder or file hat your AV is picking up that matches a value (signature) in which it is matching some viruses that the AV has stored in its database (Trojan). Because of this, although it is highly unrecommended under most circumstances:

1) Make sure you are not online or using the Internet
2) Turn OFF your Antivirus
3) Install APB
4) When the game is installed, turn AV back on.

This will keep the game from being interrupted by the AV. This is a peculiar event I've noticed with F-Secure AVs. This also happens if you are attempting to install SR titles. Anyways, if you follow my 4 steps above, the game should install and then I'm very sure you won't have to do that again. The game will be playable every time and you won't have to worry about turning off your AV after that first time.

Good luck.

Depending on your AntiVirus software, some may declare certain files as virus when they aren't. Norton is a good example of this as some mods on steam will be flagged as a virus when they aren't.

To fix this, check which Anti Virus you have, from there check if there is an option to allow bypass/exemption. If you have norton there is a feature built in to allow files to bypass the download/file check allowing you to install without any issues. If it doesn't have any form of bypass then turn off your Anti Virus and install the file you want. Turn your Anti virus back on right after.

Warning: even though you turn off your anti virus and install the files beware that some anti virus software will still do a random scan and will flag the files again and delete them especially when you run the program. Again if your AV has a bypass feature it's recommended to do that instead of just turning it off as it doesn't always work but it depends on your AV.

Best of luck.
