What I am most concerned about are those .deb

The clamav testfiles are supposed to ring the bell, I will guess, because
they are made to test the program. But the other files are the boot

alarms in my antivirus 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.
