Wtf is KV antivirus. Looks like a virus itself
If you downloaded PS client from their page it's safe.

According to your image, those were all heuristic results. Heuristics commonly give false positives. It is pretty unlikely that fonts are infecting your computer.

So are the spreadsheets. So the screenshot probably is too.

Maybe OP fell asleep for 3 years whilst posting.

Edit: On a more serious note: It was a heuristic scan which is more likely to provide a false positive.

My kasperskys also been alerting of a virus after each stars update of the new client. Just assumed it was a false positive. Kasperskys been either quarantining or deleting the file (not sure which) and stars has carried on working fine.
