Technically yes, but it can be removed.
Many people have reported finding a virus after uninstalling it. It can be identified as a Trojan by many Spyware categories, but some players claim that this is just a memory leak from its folder in the first place, and shouldn't be taken seriously.
I believe that it does, in fact, have a virus that is able to evade several anti-spyware detections, but can be removed with the right spyware cleaner, and you also have to delete the remaining folders and pretty much everything having to do with Fiesta Online after uninstalling the game. It's possible, but it's up to you whether you decide to take the risk or not.

Viruses are indicative of a greater computational biology emerging in our increasingly wired society. While often malicious in nature, viruses eventually increase the security of our information systems.
Will not enough memory slow down your computer?
Yes. Low memory will give you a very slow running computer. While we can not just uninstall or remove programs from our computer, or delete files to free up space, a good way to increase the running speed is add a memory bar.
At least for my computer, it runs faster than before after I installed a new memory bar.

How can virus bypass antivirus?
First hacker make the virus and scan it for virus...
He then looks at the virus definition Anti-Virus gives to his virus
Then Hacker tries to remove that anomaly by changing the code...
He then crypts his virus with a encryption program specially designed to encrypt the viruses known as Crypters. Crypters encrypts the virus code in byte format using encryption algorithms. That way anti-virus won't have a chance to detect it.
But as Anti-Viruses are becoming more strong, the viruses also...
At the time of execution of crypted virus's code has to be decrypted... so that's where AV's hooks catches the virus. To remove this problem virus uses something called Portable Execution. This technique loads the virus code to memory, or into some other program like 'explorer.exe' and executes it. This way virus without even touching the Hard Disk of victim can do it's job and hence bypass the AV, just like a ghost.
