When I scan my computer with clamscan he found this file:

/usr/portage/distfiles/wd97vwr32.exe: Trojan.Startpage-1111 FOUND

Normally /usr/portage/distfles it's the place where portage put the files it's donwloaded for packages.
Does that mean a Gentoo repository is corrupted???
Portage is corrupted???

Let me put it this way: No ebuild in portage references such a file. I don't know what overlays you use, but most likely it's something with your computer if it's really a virus.

Hasn't been used in Gentoo for a long time.

FILE REMOVED

Remove Tahoma font as the missing bold face is negatively affecting the font
quality of common web pages and apps. Thanks to Peter Ansell for bug
#184790.
(Portage version: 2.1.3_rc7)

I suppose you could check with clamav and see if it's a false positive.
