Because your antivirus software applies its (seemingly imperfect)
heuristics and thinks there's a virus while there's none.

To state this in a more blunt way: no there's no any virus in the Git
for Windows installation package.

The other possibility is you obtaining the installation package from
a place other than http://git-scm.com or some malware active on your
computer is changing the packages you're downloading on the fly.  The
latter is highly unlikely though.
