No, however in this case, the binary is trying to replace itself,
which is a special (and rare) case.  gradm automatically adds
an object for the binary of a subject if an object does not
exist for it (to ensure that the binary can't be overwritten by
the application itself).  To override this, like in this case,
you need to add /usr/lib/AntiVir/antivir rwcd to the object list.
