Exclamation Virus Found in Download, Want Explanation

I just downloaded Cannon Fodder, and was extracting it from the ZIP when AVAST! (my anti-virus program) popped up and said that the exe file was infected with a virus, I chose to leave it alone and to not open the file yet.

I would like an explanation for this. I considered Abandonia a place where I could download some of my favorite old games, and now that I have discovered this virus, my confidence is shaken a little. Please tell me how to fix this, or make sure that the next time someone dl's a file that they won't get a virus.
