Antivir does indeed detect some sort of virus, but it doesn't identify which one it is. To my knowledge, antivir is the only program that picks this up and only when the security is set at high which has a high likelihood of causing false positives. Nonetheless, any virus threats are taken seriously and the files have been removed pending further investigation.

That can be useful : Submit your sample
Also, here's the report after it's been scanned by *41* antiviruses, including avira antivir : Virustotal. MD5: 004a6779169a07ce5f40ffbe05a583a6 Guess it's pretty much obvious that is was a false positive, you probably had it because of heuristic mode.
