Does AssaultCube have a virus?

AssaultCube is a single/multiplayer firstperson shooter. It is welldone and plays very well.
Here is what happened to me recently.

AssaultCube_v1.0.2.exe with an MD5 checksum of: fde659fb405a35dc0c08686a6d2e06bc

=======================================================

After playing this on my Windows XP computer,
it appears the computer received a virus, or it behaves
like it has a virus.

Symptoms:
---------
On startup of the computer, the cursor is missing from
the windows login password screen. You can still login though.
The monitor appears to be de-interlaced in appearance and not
very clear.
The computer responds a little bit slower.
The Desktop Wallpaper is replaced with the Windows Login screen.
The computer hangs when you try to restart or shutdown.
Rebooting the computer does not fix the problem.

Actions Taken:
--------------
Scanning the file AssaultCube_v1.0.2.exe & its resultant files &
the computer itself showed no virus files (McAfee)
Restored my system. The computer appears fixed.
Played another game of AssaultCube.
Rebooted. ... The viral symptoms reappeared.
Restored the system again.

I think it has a computer virus but I can't prove it.
