I am running Windows 7 and so I downloaded something and I have Avira Antivirus on my PC. When I tried to open the file, Avira blocked it and popped up with a "Security Alert".
It said it had detected the file: "ADWARE/Techsnab.189288 (cloud)"
I am wondering if this is a false postivive, or is this really a virus? Has anyone come across this before? And does anyone know how to unblock a file so you can open it? I couldn't open the file as I got the error: "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service".
Please advise.

If you insist on opening it, I would suggest you download it again as it might have got corrupted. That would explain the 'insufficient resources' message.
This is the file in question and here are the results:

Yes, it's got malware.
It's a pirate copy of a PC game:o
