Summary: Python-2.*.exe has virus?

Initial Comment:
Two files within the Windows installation files Python-
2.2.exe and Python-2.1.2.exe downloaded from 
www.python.org show as infected with the same virus.  
I have not run the install, by the way.

GENINDEX.HTML
MODULE-XMLLIB.HTML

The files are identified as infected with VBS.NewLoveA 
according to Norton Anti-Virus v.5.01.03 for Windows 
(95/98) using (ancient) virus definitions dated 
5/18/2000.

I am currently downloading Python-2.2.exe from 
SourceForge.
