We occasionally see false-positives for PokerTracker installers due to the security we use. As long as you downloaded it from this website then you can safely ignore the warning until F-secure update their definitions (also make sure that your definitions are up to date).

"Heur" most probably means that heuristics picked it up. Heuristics is basically way to find malware that is not in the virus database. This is most likely a false positive, but just to make sure I'd suggest you use another antivirus scanner to make sure. The "correct way" to continue with this issue would be to contact F-Secure and ask for an exclusion.

We submit all of our executables to the major anti-virus locations to avoid problems like these but sometimes we run into them - this is a false positive and can be safely ignored.
