My copy of KillScores contains no nVIR resources.  Your copy is either
infected, or as you guessed, somebody added them in an attempt to
prevent infection by nVIR.  

I wouldn't run them until and unless you find out what's going on.
If you could tell us the IDs and sizes of the nVIR resources we might
be able to give you more information.
