anyone with Kaspersky AntiVirus (KAV)...

Post by okasvi »

could someone test compiling this with debugger

Code: Select all

;OpenLibrary(#PB_Any,"user32.dll")
StrToConvert.s = "String"

Procedure.s StrToHex(Str.s)
	StrInHex.s = ""
	For i = 1 To Len(Str)
	 StrInHex = StrInHex + Hex(Asc(Mid(Str, i,1)))+" "
	Next
	ProcedureReturn StrInHex
EndProcedure

Debug StrToHex(StrToConvert)
and after that test it again with firstline uncommented...
i would like to see if it does it with others too...

anyone ever tried contacting AV for false alarm?

I am also getting pretty tired of Virus checkers triggering alarms on something that obviously not a virus.

All fine here with Avast... sounds like KAV is a little too strict with its checks.
I compile using 5.31 (x86) on Win 7 Ultimate (64-bit).

Switch to Avast... the last thing you need is a checker that gives false positives.

Or, try turning off "heuristic scanning" in KAV if it's on -- sounds like that may
be the cause.

Works fine here with Norton Internet Security 2006.

I used KAV for a while last year but dumped it after getting quite a few false alarms. I now use AVG on all my other pc's as its free and very good.

I tried it with NAV 2005, didn't trigger anything. Have you tried configuring your AV to exclude your PB stuff from checking?
