Title: Trojan Horse Agent4.TPB
Post by: JB4870 on April 21, 2013, 05:30:42 pm

I keep getting a Virus alert (AVGfree) when i try to build a simple program. AVGfree claims to have removed it but it giving me the alert. Any solutions. It goes without saying that I'm new to this.

Search the forum !

Use a good (!) antivirus software.

Compilers do things that are suspicious for antivirus software, like creating or overwriting executables.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion; I tried to get rid of the virus with "antivirus" software but nothing seemed to work. After some trial and error I narrowed what I thought was the problem causing segment to the minGW compiler (as you inferred). I found that if I deleted everything in the minGW folder except for these (bin, doc, include,lib, libexec, mingw32,share,var) it works fine.  Something about the "MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows" setup my system doesn't like.

Thanks again
