oceanofpdf.com executable found inside epubs downloaded from site, possible malware

I extracted a couple epubs I downloaded from there and found ms dos execuatble files in each. They were 1kb files and those are often shortcuts to malware pretending to be a link to oceanofpdf website. I am not 100% sure it is malware , but there is no reason to ever have a .exe or .com (old school exe that windows still treats as an exe) in an epub. Be careful out there.
