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.

non-related topic: Last Week gasoline prices went up 6 cents per Litre. ($0.779/L)

↑ 6 cents| The last week saw gas go up by 6 cents/Litre. That is, from $0.719 to: $0.779/L. (Gas station = safeway or coop)

006 - timefiller

↓ 2 cents| Gasoline update: 2009-01-04 gas price at the last Safeway location is $ 0.719 / L. It has been at this price for a while now. (ie a drop from $ 0.739/L to $ 0.719/L)

//This is the instruction sheet for a inexpensive digital LCD watch sold in North America under the brand of Optimax.


//Today is Sunday. Thus, not as much traffic on the roads as a weekday. Today's transit driver was just depressed or angry. Early into the journey, he motions sarcastically at a car. Someone must have cut him off. Or so I thought. At a stoplight, he keeps pumping the brakes microscopically to give the bus a sensation of a hydraulic bouncing "low-rider". Then he lets out a moan as another car infront chooses to go straight instead of making a right turn at a controlled intersection. I'm starting to think this guy is depressed or crazy. A Sunday drive is really "nothing". The roads are in good shape. The weather and visibility is good. Passing pedestrians nearing a bus-stop, he leans over and stares at them to ensure they are not potential passengers. So far so good. That is quite admirable actually; Some drivers don't give a damn about their passengers. Next we miss a green light. Now comes another moan, like it is the end of the world. We wait at the intersection for the light to change. At the end of the trip, I get off, & thank the driver. He says "you are welcome" and we both go on our way. Summary of trip:
On time; Safe; Courteous. I shouldn't complain.

005 - gas price blurb

ok, i'm adding this blurb about gas prices Dec.14,2008; The gas price posted at a local Safeway (a different Safeway location than the previous post, Safeway(mj) $1.34/Litre-Sep.18,2008), is $ 0.739

shift gears// do you remember in the summer/fall, the so-called financial "experts" predicted that the price of a barrel of oil will shortly reach $150 and beyond? well, they were partially right. i remember a barrel went for about $140 US, but what they were wrong about was that one of the main causes of the fast rise in price was not so-much supply & demand, but more speculation and greed. Last week i remember the price was about $43 a barrel.
right now the website: http://www.bloomberg.com/energy/ says the NYMEX crude future is $47.14

shift gears// how much of the financial woes of the big three auto manufacturers are due to their management paths & marketing models instead of the tough times of the current economical times? Please change or attempt to change your product to non-combustible propulsion transportation. There must be a way to do this with a feasible/sustainable market plan. If you pursue combustion, at least, let it be hydrogen fuel. It's cleaner than carbon fuels. (no carbon in ... no carbon out; what comes out the exhaust is H2O.) Is it as efficient?... probably not; but that isn't the main issue.

003 - Sep12-2008 gas prices

Ok.
Canada AM tv show broadcasts that the gasoline prices are rising because of Hurricane IKE.
↑ 12cents| Fri.Sep12 Price goes from $1.36/L to $1.48/L at a safeway(mj). that is a 12cent increase.
↓ 2 cents| Sat.Sep13 Price at the safeway goes down to $1.45/L to match what other gas stations are posting. (i Witnessed this.)
After Sep13? who knows. It probably still is at $1.45/L
↑ 3cents| On gasbuddy.com, a search shows that in the last 24hours, the gas at safeway is back to $1.48/L along with 5 other gas stations. There is one that is lower though $1.45/L it is a Shell station. (How accurate is gasbuddy though?)

↓ 14cents (↓ 16cents)| update: Sep18/2008 | i just checked gasbuddy.com; six stations including safeway has their gas priced at $1.34/L (& three stations have theirs at $1.29/L.)
That is quite the "roller-coaster ride" within a span of 6 days.
