ChessMaster 2100 & WDEF A

At ComputerWare, we found out that the game ChessMaster 2100 (by Software
Toolworks) is recognized by SAM, GateKeeper, and other anti-viral programs
as containing RWDEF A.S We found that GateKeeper found RWDEF AS on a number of
 UNOPENED boxes of the game that we pulled off the shelf in our warehouse.

At first, Software Toolworks denied that they were distributing a
virus-infected product, but they are looking into the matter.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Hope to hear some feedback on this one...
