So I downloaded the new v6.00 Alpha 2 (with the new C backend) and tested my app with it, and it compiles my 45000-line app without a single hiccup or change needed to my code; AND I'm happy to report that it has REDUCED the number of anti-virus false-positives immensely! Check it out:
PureBasic v5.73 LTS made a 4.46 MB exe -> https://i.imgur.com/BX211CC.png (19 false-positives).
PureBasic v6.00 Alpha 2 made a 5.76 MB exe -> https://i.imgur.com/m4RugKU.png (4 false-positives).
I can live with the extra exe size due to the AV issue being pretty much resolved. This is awesome! Thanks, Fred and team!
v6.00 has fewer anti-virus false-positives!

Hi BarryG,
Did you compile it using the ASM compiler or the C compiler in Alpha 2?

Re: v6.00 has fewer anti-virus false-positives!
Just the default compiler setting of Alpha 2. I installed it to its own folder and ran it from there. "Use Compiler" was NOT ticked in the Compiler Options of my app.
Re: v6.00 has fewer anti-virus false-positives!
Oh so 64bit ASM. That's really good news I hope then when compiled with the C compiler we will end up with none.
Re: v6.00 has fewer anti-virus false-positives!
That's what I'm hoping for, too. My app doesn't compile with the C compiler yet (bug report done).
