title: Antivirus False positive in my executable
body: <p>I just ran into an annoying problem.    Suddenly <strong>Avira AntiVir</strong> started to flag one executable from my software as being a virus. </p>
  
  <p>As the default action from almost any user is to click OK and Avira suggests to put the <em>virus</em> in quarantine, most of my users are deleting this executable.  </p>
  
  <p>Well, let's not be arrogant and check if I'm not infected indeed. I posted the file to <a href="http://www.virustotal.com" rel="noreferrer">http://www.virustotal.com</a> and from all anti virus only Avira flags it as infected. Furthermore I scanned my computer with two different anti viruses and it is clean.</p>
  
  <p>I already posted a mail to my users explaining what is happening but this is an overhead to my support that I really don't want.  </p>
  
  <p>OK, the question is: Is there a way to avoid this kind of behavior? I can't think any way else than signing the files, (don't really know if it would solve) but let's see if you have any creative idea.</p>
