Hi Jean-François,

those are harmless test files from the Writer unit tests, to prevent
fixed security bugs to re-appear. Signature-based virus scanners may
raise false positives there.

If that's enough of a nuisance for enough people, Caolan suggested
already to e.g. xor them with something, to make the warning go
away. Something you'd want to look into?

Cheers,
