I have learnt that sometimes antivirus software is wrong. I was installing a few days ago the newest office pack and got that same information, so i recommend you download a patch from the other source, like here:

or here http://s1.download.net.pl/15099-ET-2.60b-win32.zip

(Afterthought first)
"new computer'...is this a Windows 7 issue? I have WinXP. What is your OS?
You copied the unzipped files from 2.60b over your ET+2.60 files? I don't like that Trojan warning, which could mean the file(s) are corrupted, either intentionally or accidentally.
My file sizes (not size-on-disk)
wolfet.exe 257 MB (270,305,943 bytes)
ET_Patch_2_60.exe 5.53 MB (5,806,971 bytes)
2.60b unzips to (Win32):
ET.exe 1.22 MB (1,286,144 bytes)
ETDED.exe 568 KB (581,632 bytes)
The last two should be the sizes after final installation.
