Highly unlikely. I suspect your virus scanner had a false positive.

Strange - this is the first time I've seen this reported here.
Does this detected virus have a name - is this provided with your antivirus software, or is any information provided with your antivirus software?
There is also what is called a false positive with Windows antivirus software.

More than likely it was a false positive. Did your AV software report the name of this virus?
