pv.exe,Uninstall.exe (false positive)

Hello all,
I am evaluating your software.
I really like it.
 
Ran into what I believe are two false positives.
 
I downloaded your program 4.6 and updated to the latest
ruleset 1-17-07.
I have searched the forums for these with no results.
 
I ran a full scan and it showed two positive trojans
The results are here:
Found trojan file: C:\Program Files\WinRAR\Uninstall.exe Poebot.108
Found trojan file: C:\Program Files\xampp\apache\bin\pv.exe (RiskWare.ProcView.100)
 
I dont believe these are trojans..
 
pv.exe is a program to kill apache and other server prosesses under xampp.
 
Uninstall.exe is just the winrar 3.41 uninstaller
It has been known to show up as false positive on many anti virus programs.
 
I will zip and send per instructions for examinations.
 
Edit: I had to rename the .exe files to .dat
Gmail found the executable even when encrypted Cool
 
 
Thanks again for the great software.
Slim
