Still not updated here, even though it's tomorrow now. ;)

So I re-submitted it to them (the temp exe that generates the error). I also
sent them this screenshot as proof, which shows Avira is the only scanner
that's reporting it as malware:

That should convince them, I think. :lol:

Nope. ImageShack can be such a bitch at times. I tried to re-upload it with
the original filename again (False.png) but then it kept saying the image
format was not supported! So I renamed it to Image.png and it allowed
it (link edited above). So maybe ImageShack doesn't like files to have
the word "False" in them? Who knows. Anyway, all sorted now. :)

My report was for Avast, not Avira.

If you can confirm that Avira suspects a virus in Compiler.exe like Avast did, I will submit a report as well.

Here is a link:

Damn these 5-letter names starting with "Av"! ;)

Avira doesn't complain about Compiler.exe for me, so no need for you to
submit it to them. I submitted the temp exe from my app so maybe they'll
fix it. Don't know how, though.
