AVG just thought that my Hello World program was a Trojan.

(1/2) > >>

minimildew:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    cout<<"Hey, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World! \n";
    cin.get();

    return 1;
}
So I typed this out in Code::Blocks, ran it, and AVG detected it as a trojan and immediately terminated it. Should I be worried in the slightest? Or is AVG simply as retarded as I suspect.

Jenna:
We have several threads about AVG and false positives in the last thre month.

Throw it away and use better av-software.

minimildew:
Yeah, that's what I thought. This may sound like an incredibly retarded question, but when I run the script, it creates an application file (.exe) of about 1 mb within the file that the script is run from. Is that normal?

minimildew:
And there's also a random .o file sitting in there (sorry for the double post)

Jenna:
It looks like you don't know the absolute basics about compiling and linking.

This is not the correct site to teach such things (in fact it would violate our forum rules), but there are some tutorials and forums related to basic C/C++ programming questions in the web.

You should search and read them.
