I found a couple false positives, according to virus total and avast free edition:

Win32:MalOb-ID [Cryp] (No$SNES emulator v1.5, via no$sns.zip)
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/fffaf047b2239d2dc861e63e8842ef6f54c04d441ebfe53ee8054719e07bc954/analysis/1375228208/

Win32:Evo-gen [Suspicious] (Lunar Compress (Author: http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/), via lc170.zip/Sniff.exe (Cause: Confusion of another name from a malicious application?!?))
(No current Virustotal data as of 7/30/2013, 11:49 PM Pacific Time)

How can they be fixed?

AN UPDATE...

No fix yet for LC170.ZIP/SNIFF.EXE from lunar compress, Still detects it and is a false positive, but sadly, still no info on Virus Total...

the NO$SNS link is fixed though, and just reported another false positive in my virus chest (ZAP.EXE - ZZT editor by SaxxonPike)!!!
