Saved as HTML email has trojan

I have read here briefly that there are reports of false positives with PA in connection with apps. However, I saved the registration email to html formay onto my desktop to view outside of Thunderbird once I had closed PA.

Imagine my surprise when AVG report a trojan from this file when I attempted to open it within firefox from my desktop installation of Windows Vista.

What gives ?

And how do I fix this trojan issue so as not to upset owners of systems I wish to use when overseas ? Would be downright unhealthy should a trojan alert appear on their system.

AVG Gives

AVG is the one reporting the Trojan when there is none, which makes is their mistake. But yes, I do understand how a Trojan report would look, perhaps someone can help you.

AVG is the problem

AVG is taking over Norton's place of frequently reporting false positives. Whenever you get one dbl check with one of the online scanners before panicing.

Hopefully your clients overseas use a better av than AVG on their systems.
