What I am most concerned about are those .deb files that I downloaded. The clamav testfiles are supposed to ring the bell, I will guess, because they are made to test the program.

Hi Bill,
Clam malware definitions are updated frequently. Sometimes they detect kernels or core dumps as executables but then issue warnings because they're not quite what Clam expects of an executable.

Thanks, Mike!
I figured that it must be something like that, though I didn't know why. The others I could dismiss for various reasons, but the kernel was unexpected.
