If the files have the following md5sums:
d132caed244851b1a944221921611235  dviout.exe
4ea3886315f590856e6d921c54aca0f2  psv.exe
e9c1687a5375f6ad5b5e76172c46bf37  texworks.exe
and sizes
dviout.exe* 3584
psv.exe* 13824
texworks.exe* 178688

then they don't have a virus, but your anti virus program is just reporting
a fals positive.

I am quite sure that it is that way, meaning that this is a false 
positive. Detecting a virus is heuristics, and it seems it failed here.

but you never know ;-)

Best wishes
