If these 25 instances are _all_ the programs on the CD, then this is most 
probably a false alarm; see

  http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq9_8.html

If some of the programs seem to be infected, while others aren't, please 
contact the vendor (SAMS) who produced the CD.

You could also download the software from the DJGPP sites, where programs 
are scanned for virus infections before they are uploaded.
