What provider did you download it from? I know you said you think mediafire in the chat but I wanted to make sure
if you did mediafire, did you download the game or hit download for something else (downloading that and not the game)
did you download using chrome? If you do use chrome it will freak out after the download is done because it does not recognize the file and say the file is dangerous (even though it is not)

how big was the file you downloaded? if it was a larger file than im guess you got the game
if it was the "08-07-2014 LoE build" or something with the date and saying it was the LoE file than it was fine and there is not virus

if the file was smaller and you might of mis-clicked and downloaded something you did not intend to
