suspicious files in CVS?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've downloaded the files from CVS and scanned them for viruses. The result is as follows:

Maybe the files are actually corrupt, I don't know ...

odd--maybe the exe files got corrupted (as binary)
wonder what's suspicious about them--they cleraly aren't infected by a known viros

maybe the fact that they destroy their own console window after launching makes them suspicious (so that you don't have an xtra dos window hanging around)
