Wow, only those? I was expecting much, much worse false positives. But yes, the files are indeed encrypted, and not just packed with something stupid like UPX/ASPack/PECompact/etc.....
Yeah, they were simply reports of packed EXE/DLL files.
I found McAfee Command Line to be pretty reliable... with the expanse of command line options that I use when scanning files, it will report anything that is packed, and if it finds anything within those packed files.
In other words, as long as it doesn't report an _actual_ virus, the packed files messages can simply be ignored (as well as the "Objects Possibly Infected" and "Possibly Infected" summaries, as if McAfee actually found a virus, it would report what it actually found; the name of the virus/infection)
FWIW, here's a scan log:
