aswMBR false positive?

aswMBR with the latests virus def update is reporting two infections:
20:10:51.046 File: C:\Documents and Settings\gandolph\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\1.3.21.111\GoogleCrashHandler.exe **INFECTED** Win32:Malware-gen
20:10:51.218 File: C:\Documents and Settings\gandolph\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Update\1.3.21.111\GoogleUpdate.exe **INFECTED** Win32:Trojan-gen
When I run them through virustotal.com only ByteHero finds and infection (even the Avast engine reports clean).

aswMBR looks at the files slightly differently as it is more concerned with a rootkit/bootkit type infections, so the parameters are slightly different
If the standard Avast scan checks them out OK then they should be good
