AVG reports Win32/PolyCrypt in Slackware 11 zipslack.zip

I unzipped zipslack.zip from Slackware 11 and my regular AVG run detected Win32/PolyCrypt in cdda2wav and e2image. So I removed the entire tree and PolyCrypt isn't detected. Then I downloaded zipslack.zip again and scanned it without unzipping. Found.

I suspect this is a false positive. Anyone?

Seems it was a false positive. About 5 hours after my earlier tests, I downloaded a new signature file and no positives.
