If you don't know for sure, go to the mcafee virus database (I believe you can go to it from within the mcaffee interface). There should be a list or search feature to allow you to look for specific viruses and other goodies. Clicking on the appropriate link brought up should link you to details and instructions on how to remove.

If you download it from the zuggsoft site it should be fine. Any other reputable download site I have also never had problems with. If, for some reason, and I'm not pointing fingers, you are attempting to download cracked/hacked or other attempts to circumvent the liscence part of zmud, I would not doubt that there are possible viruses in them.
But, here is what you are looking for.

Some antivirus programs were mistakingly detecting this 'virus' in files that were not infected. Update the mcaffee program and it will be fixed. Nothing to worry about, its just an error with the antivirus program, but one which could potentially be lethal to your system depending on how you have it set up to deal with infections :)
