Many users have decided on these files! should be worried?

You can verify files at Jotti or Virus Total on the web. Either service will scan a file for you with multiple AV programs, including Clam AV, which furnishes its scan engine/signature database to ClamWin. Jotti is at https://virusscan.jotti.org/en on the web, and Virus Total is at https://www.virustotal.com/ on the web. If several other AVs besides Clam say a file is infected, it probably is infected. I like to see at least 2 of these AVs spot an infection before I believe it: Avira AntiVir, Bitdefender, NOD32, Kaspersky, or Sophos.

If the file is infected, delete it from your computer. If it is not infected but ClamWin says it is, submit the file to Clam AV at https://www.clamav.net/lang/en/sendvirus/ on the web. When you get to the submission page, change the submission type from "virus" to "false positive."
