Antivirus False positive in my executable

Question

I just ran into an annoying problem. Suddenly Avira AntiVir started to flag one executable from my software as being a virus.

As the default act

Answer 1

As a solution, you may want to:

1 - Verify your Delphi compiler is not infected
2 - Verify your sources and libraries are not tempered with (that was the M.O. for the Induc Virus)
3 - Check your (guaranteed) clean exe with the AVs. If they report a false positive, contact them so they could fix their tests.

4 - If you need to distribute before there is a chance to correct the AVs, sign your exe, so that your users could verify it's clean.
