AntiVir False Positives with EXE made with AHK 1.0.46.08
Edit: Interestingly, I restored the file and it seems that the file was corrupted. Compiling the file again from source seems to solve the issue but I didn't update AHK before compiling again...
I checked. No, not yet. Hopefully they will resolve the problem in the next couple of days.Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately, the previous virus database might have detected the virus (Trojan Horse) on some legitimate applications. We can confirm that it was a false alarm. This false detection will be fixed in the next virus database update. Please update your AVG and check your files again.
If you need to restore deleted files from AVG Virus Vault you can do it this way: open AVG Virus Vault (Start -> Programs -> AVG Antivirus -> AVG Virus Vault). Locate the file that was removed, right click on it and choose "Restore File(s)" option.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,

Them be my thoughts...

Trojan horse Generic4.IRO
:?
Thank god I have a script that automatically recompiles and puts the files on the network... I wouldn't want to have to recompile the script on 50 PC's.
It's kind of lame when you think about it. It's like saying "python.exe" is a virus because someone wrote a script that acts as a virus. Pretty lame Anti-virus guys...

Just an FYI, never saw this in previous versions of AutoHotkey's compiled executables. The virus was added to AntiVir last year in August, so I'm pretty sure its a change in AutoHotkey.
The virus reported to be found is:
TR/AutoIt
This is with the latest free home version of AntiVir http://www.free-av.com/
I'm guessing that some specific byte code that AntiVir is using to identify the AutoIt Trojan is being identified in executables generated with the latest version of AutoHotKey. (Since AutoHotkey is an AutoIt derivative I believe, that makes some possible sense?)
For now I set an exception in AntiVir to not scan my AutoHotKey generated EXE files, but that always makes me nervous in case they did get infected with some other virus in the future.
Not sure if there's anything you can do about it, or if its something AntiVir has to adjust (or if you could help them with what they need to fix) but thought I'd post here as an FYI.
