Several TortoiseCVS users have reported that McAfee antivirus detects a 
trojan in TortoiseCVS 1.8.14 and 1.8.16.

The cause for this has now been found, see 
http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=103069:

    The 4511 DAT files contain an incorrect Generic Backdoor.dr 
identification
    on certain Inno Setup installer files.  This detection was corrected 
in the
    4512 DAT release.

So in short: There is no virus in the TortoiseCVS installer.
