Is this a game patch? You mentioned Origin - the problem is that some games patches due to their nature may be picked up as viruses - the fact that the md5sum does not match is suspicious initself - have you downloaded to windows as you say you are using clamwin which is NOT for GNU/Linux - that is the windows version! ;)

Hi,

online Virus scanners are notably only out to scare people into downloading their own AntiVirus scanner tool, if you download any package regardless from whence it came, use Clamav (you did install the GUI for it didn't you?), simply open ClamAV and navigate to the downloads folder and select that file only (then file you want to scan, not the downloads folder).

If you don't have the GUI for ClamAV installed, install it with the following terminal command (Ctrl + Alt + t):

Code:
sudo apt-get install clamtk
