Doesn't seem like that's a problem with the distfile MacPorts expects
(i.e. sha256
6f2b22372c7a9ed8ffab817079638e8f4178f5f8ba63c89cb3baa01be614f2ba). Maybe
your distfile was corrupted (try `sudo port clean --dist hexchat` and try
again).
Dr.Web as used by virustotal does not seem to recognize this archive as
virus, and neither do any of the other scanners.
On the other hand, "IRC.Virus" sounds like a generic IRC client detection
mechanism. It sounds like a false positive that an IRC client would
trigger this. Contact your anti-virus vendor and advise them that this is
likely a false positive.
