Thanks for all the responses.  Agree, looks like false positive.  (But I
can't blame myself for being concerned and alerting the community.)

Using AVG freeware.  Have tried to "Send for analysis" -- Get "Something
went wrong.  Please try again later."

Tried "Restore".  Get "Whoops, error occured [sic]. This file can't be
restored."

I'll contact my local computer guru.  I really want to restore, so I don't
lose all my old contest log files.
