** edit - Turned out it was a false positive related to the AVG software. It scanned clean in Norton and McAfee **

Sorry to tell you this dude. But your Antivirus sucks. I'm using Avast 4.7 with all the latest updates. TrendMicro with the latest virus definitions. Comodo BoClean Anti-Malware which is updated daily and I haven't gotten any virus alerts.

It's pretty funny. I installed AVG and it gave me the same result. When I scanned it. But when I clicked on there Virus Encyclopedia for the so called virus it found. This is what I got. :laugh2:

And if anybody else doubts what i'm saying the Winkawaks version is 1.56. It seems it only gives a false positive for this version. If anybody thinks I did this on purpose the file was downloaded directly from http://cps2shock.retrogames.com/ unfortunately they don't have it up anymore but i'm sure everybody here is familiar with http://www.mamechannel.it/ Here's a link to there forum where an administrator posted the 1.56 version when it came out. Download it and scan it with AVG and you'll get the same false positive.
SGT:
Your AVG is incorrectly alarming on a false positive. This is a known false positive for AVG with winkawaks. False positives are not unusal for anti-virus programs. Here is more info on what a false positive is:
