These are my hatches and have been scanned by several scanners (Microsoft,
McAfee and LavaSoft) with negative results across the board. I needed 7Zip
anyway, so I installed the portable version (listed above) and tested same.
I saw no evidence of ANY malware, Adware, etc., nor did a run of the
scanners.

My only conclusion has to be you are getting false hits. Contact ClamAV!

Janis, some of these are yours (WinGame) and bear double-checking as
they're listed as actually infected with something, yes?
