I was playing Minecraft and I tried to close the world when suddenly Panda Antivirus said "minecraft.exe has been infected, restart your computer to neutralize it." I tried to open Minecraft again and it said "minecraft.exe has been removed from its previous location." I restarted and it said the same thing. I went to the web and both forum posts I found were on another antivirus. Then I went to repair minecraft, and Panda flagged it again. I realized you could get it out of the quarantine, so it's fixed, but I'm still puzzled as to why this happened.

Minecraft.exe is the launcher, i believe. Let it scan, delete everything, and reinstall.
Did you get Minecraft from minecraft.net or mojang.com? Some cracked installations may be viruses.

Tired of the uninnovative gaming industry? Go Indie. Buy indie games like Azure Striker Gunvolt and Terraria. Minecraft counts too... sort of.
No, minecraft is the only game I bought. I got it from minecraft.net.
It could be caused by the mod, It's never happened when I didn't have them.
OK. It seems like another virus got into Minecraft.exe. Could be, like Grimallq said, the mod itself coming from a fake database site. Make sure the mod is in your mods folder, in jar format. Let it scan and delete everything, then reinstall Chisel, this time from here: http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/225236-chisel-2 . 1.7.10 forge only.
