discrepancy between infected objects and cleaned objects numbers

I have uploaded the two files and PMed Marcos with their link to reproduce this problem.

The difference between the number of scanned and cleaned objects is most likely that your Autoit malware also contains some clean files inside. Try enabling logging of all scanned files so that you also see clean files in the scan log. The fact that the results are displayed doubled or tripled in the case of archives has been noted as a bug.

So, can you now explain why eset claims that it had cleaned two files?
