win32: trojan-gen, on my own program??

[Alex74]

Seems Avast has decided that a program i wrote is infected with a trojan.

I've let it delete the .exe, but as soon as i started to compile it again, it throws up the resident protection telling me that the .exe is infected

I'm running a boot-time scan to be sure, but.. surely it must a wierd repeat false positive?

Any thoughts?..


(oh and no I didnt write a trojan )

As it stands it's some very simple Win32 code, compiled on Visual C++. Completely bog standard window creation. It's just a tad confusing that it would flag that specifically when other execs (which build upon exactly the same code) are ignored.

The boot-time scan came up with nothing. Now that i'm back in windows it's happy to compile and run without being flagged.

Just have to call this one a wierd false positive and move on I think.

Many thanks for the responses
