Kaspersky reports WORM in Coreutils 6.7-1 and 6.7-2


(I am VERY tired right now so any I typed here might have typos.)
Today I ran a scan with Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, and it reported that a couple of files in the install\cygwin directories were infected by Net_Worm.win32.sassor.be.


My system is WindowsXP Media edition

These were:

C:\install\cygwin\package\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin\release\coreutils\coreutils-6.7-1.tar.bz2 C:\install\cygwin\package\http%3a%2f%2fmirrors.kernel.org%2fsourceware%2fcygwin\release\coreutils\coreutils-6.7-2.tar.bz2


and more specifically:


coreutils-6.7-2//user/bin/gkill.exe

I know these are old releases so I am assuming everything is OK. I deleted these to tar files and I assume that won't hurt my installation. right?
