AVIRA's AntiVir doesn't like PB

The newest version of AntiVir declares PureBasic.exe and VisualDesigner.exe as the TR/Dldr.Stration.I TROJAN.
Can't stop it beeping :evil:

Is this a false positive?

How to get it NORMAL again?

Yes, confirmed here for Visual Designer.exe and PBCompiler.exe (but not
for PureBasic.exe). Here's some shots and my log, in case Fred needs them,
with the shots at the bottom of this post (after the log).

As for stopping the beeps, you can set AntiVir to ignore certain folders.
The setting is done in both the "Scanner" and "Guard" areas, like this:

Same result on my PB Install.

So unpacked the last Update in a new Folder and Avira beeps again!

Is it a Virus or only the same bitpattern?

It's because people have created remote admin tools with PB which have been flagged in the past by anti-virus programs.

But Visual Designer.exe and PBCompiler.exe don't have remote admin code,
so why would they be flagged?

I just did another update and the PB package is shown as clean again.
So definately a false positive.
PB wrote:> It's because people have created remote admin tools with PB which have

But Visual Designer.exe and PBCompiler.exe don't have remote admin code,
so why would they be flagged?
It seems to have been a general problem with many programs.

Even after the update, it still complais about lcc-win32 for example.
Since most of the PB libs are compiled with lcc-win32 on windows, thats probably
why PB got these positives as well.

Maybe someone should report this to AntiVir. :roll:

Been using AntiVir for a few months now and I haven't gotten any virus warnings about anything related to PB :)

Hehe, you obviously didn't have it up to date while it was happening. :)

Off course it was and is, it gets new updates practically daily :) Sometimes even two times a day.
