Yep, it's a virus:

Heur.win32 virus & spyfalcon - CNET Viruses & security alerts Forums

www.viruspool.net - Virus List

I'd suggest getting a decent AV like Nod32, Mcafree, Kaperskey, BitDefender, and running a full scan of your system.

They are all pay apps, so take your pick really. I use Nod32, but any of those should protect your system okay.

If you want a decent free antivirus i suggest Avast which has always done well for me. The real time protection helps as you can stop pages with trojans and emails with trojans BEFORE you open them.

I still use Antivir. You can either use the free or pay version. I use the free version. I got careless last month and ignored a warning it gave me on an executable, and my system was ravaged. So now I obey Antivir. Delete anything that gives me a warning. Antivir owns me. As soon as you open a folder that has a virus file in it, Antivir warns you to either quarantine it or delete it. It doesn't give you a chance to accidentally execute the file. Same thing with unzipping. As soon as it detects that the file you are about to unzip is suspect, then it blocks it and asks you what to do. As long as you delete it before it gets to run on your system you should be fine.

Really, most of the high end scanners are only as good as the user. With the out-of-the-box settings, they will only pick up certain things. That's one reason a lot of the online scan reviews are a bit off, they never specify what settings they use. Some AV's for instance aren't programmed to scan within compressed archives by default! It's important to learn the basic settings of each app and tweak the AV for maximum protection.
