Viruses are opportunistic. If your stuff is vulnerable when you encounter one, you will catch the crud.

I know someone who loaded Windows from scratch using local media, then patched at MS.com, then downloaded and installed an antivirus product. And the antivirus scan found viruses. =)

She did the same routine a second time and no viruses.

All within two hours. A mystery!

That could be but this computer is only a month old. I think this may just be a false positive...

    I extracted fastevent.pyd, the first file you saw a problem with
    (md5 cb274a3f1a83260d82957409855ca077), and checked it with
    virustotal. Still nothing:

    Another possibility is that you have a virus elsewhere on the
    system which is infecting those files as they get installed.

        The file itself doesn't trip any alarms for me either. After
        installing and doing 'import pygame' I get the warning. The
        md5sum is the same for my file.

            Did you download this from the pygame website? I've just
            downloaded that same file and checked it with virustotal
            (which scans with a load of different AV engines), and it
            was all clear:

            So I'd suspect it's a false positive, although it's
            possible that someone is doing a MITM attack to give you a
            modified download. Check the md5sum of the file you
            downloaded - it should be:
