Post news Report RSS Antivirus False Alarm caused by Winbatch

The executable for the installer contains a copy of the original source of the program which is loaded in such a manor that it may appear to be malicious (polymorphic code), but it is not malicious... I apologize for any inconveniences.

Unfortunately your antivirus software might complain because my installer is "deemed malicious" or something like that, well its not true. The reason for this false alarm is that I use Wilson WindowWare's Winbatch (Winbatch.com) to script this installer, when the script is compiled, there is no built in interpreter for winbatch (in windows); so the exe file is merely compiled with an interpreter built in. Some clever malicious software recompiles itself in ram to avoid detection by antivirus software.
