From where did you download your copy of Dolphin?

Thats preposterous, Dolphin don't have a virus if you download from the main Dolphin site or from one of the trusted compilers here.
But there will be trouble if downloaded elsewhere which is highly the cause in this case.
Be thankful your antivirus deleted it and download a clean Dolphin package from here, the official site.

For the last guy who reported a virus, the anitvirus had marked the sef-extracting 7Zip file of v2.0. Certain antiviruses gives false reports on Dolphin

People who use anti virus are stupid. They send you viruses to scan. I used to get them for a full pc scan and delete them right away. It's complete bullshit. All my cracked files are ''viruses'' and get deleted without my permission. I used to have problems with my computers in general so guess what? I completly stopped using AV software and if you're not a total dumbass you will see that they are almost impossible to get. You download games from SKIDROW and RELOADED. Always make sure that the files you download are legit before you do so. It's easy it's called TORRENTS. There is a huge community on those and when you see that 500 people approved a certain file well it speaks for itself.
I get on average 1 virus every 6 months to a year and so little spyware that I don't even see any difference. If you're computer becomes slow just format it and it's much easier and also doesn't screw up all you're files. My point? Anti virus are for idiots.

I rarely hear the word 'Legit' and 'Torrent' used in the same sentence
