AVG reports trojan in Abiword plugins. False positive?

S

sc

After updating my AVG Free definitions file this morning I immediately
got warnings that both abiword-plugins-impexp-2.2.7.exe and
abiword-plugins-tools-2.2.7.exe contained the Trojan horse
Downloader.lstbar.8.k, and both files have been moved to the Virus
Vault. Does anyone know if this is true or just a false positive?
