TestPage.html.js comes up under AVG Anti-Virus as a threat "hidden extension .js" - I guess some virus makers try to exploit that some users have "hide known extensions" so it looks like an html file but it's actually a .js script that does something bad... Obviously that's not the case with this particular file, but since i'm too poor to buy a virus scanner and AVG has no options to ignore a file, I have to disable my virus protection anytime I feel like messing with silverlight development.. Otherwise AVG just denies me access to the file, so my app won't run.
Just a heads up, there's probably not much that can be done about this, it's more of a AVG configuration issue, but it's possible other virus checkers flag similar things.

This is definitely a known issue. I have know idea if Microsoft has any plans to do anything about it, though. AVG really should update their scanning / blocking techniques, but I doubt they will.
Also, make sure you rename your files to _html.js so that your end users with AVG don't run into this.
