Huer Heuristic. False Positive. Add it to the ignore|exclude list.

Never rely on an antivirus program (especially one that has heuristics enabled) to be 100% accurate. They aren't.

If you're worried, upload the file that the antivirus logs say was infected to something like VirusTotal and get it checked against 50+ antivirus softwares. Then you'll notice that heuristic failures are nothing more than a "guess" based on random bits on the disk that happen to be the same as random parts of 1 of the millions of viruses out there. And you'll also notice that even with genuinely malicious files, something like 20-50% of the most up to date and big-name antivirus engines won't detect anything wrong at all. And still may not in a year's time.

I've had files flagged as all sorts of malicious content. Funny, because they were something I compiled myself from my own source code and had nothing "dubious" in them at all. And you'll find that just about every game developer has had a false positive from at least one AV vendor in the past. Hell, most of them publish them in their FAQ's. And you'll even find that almost every AV vendor out there has put out updates that detect THEIR OWN SOFTWARE, or even parts of Windows, as a virus and delete it.
