Come on i am serious, can anyone help? How can a prominent game like GW have a virus?
Heres wat i found
F-Secure Anti-Virus analyzes scanned files and gives warnings if it finds suspicious code inside. When a file is suspected having a "Type_XXX" virus it means that the heuristic scanner found virus-like or trojan-like code in the analyzed file.
In some cases the heuristic engine can give false alarms.
(An example of a false alarm would be from early March, 2006. Software from www.osmosian.com, The Osmosian Order of Plain English Programmers, resulted in a Heuristic Type_Win32 alert. The software from Osmosian is not malware and a fix for this is included in current F-Secure Anti-Virus updates.)
We appreciate samples of suspected viruses as well as suspected false alarms to our sample submission address. Samples are usually analyzed within a few days

It doesn't mean that the game came with a virus. What it means is that a virus has somehow gotten into your Guild Wars folder. Don't get worried, it could just be a file that it deems as 'suspicious,' like the many Zonealarm alerts that you get once you install it.
Try to heal the file, but if that doesn't work, ask on the F-Secure website for assistance.
