[Haskell-cafe] Object Files Become Downloader.Obfuskated

[SevenThunders]

I discovered a curious thing after a compiling a medium sized Haskell project
using
the 64 bit linux Haskell GHC 6.6.1 compiler.  Several of the generated
object files (.o) show up
as containing the virus Downloader.Obfuskated by my AVG anti-virus program
when viewing
the files from windows xp 64.  Since the files were generated by GHC on
linux I find it hard to
believe that they actually contain this virus.  A google search reveals one
other mention of something
like this happening with no further explanation.

The virus detection appears no where else except in object files generated
by the ghc linux compiles.
