      What AV tool are you using?

      Is it using heuristics?

      Does it have the ability to add exceptions?

      What is the exact text of the message (including the title bar text and the content)?

      If you are happy that this is a false positive rather than a real issue, add it as an exception.

      If you are uncertain or wish to err on the side of caution, stop using Dev-C++ and use a different tool. Dev-C++ is not under active development, so this problem is unlikely to be fixed.

      How do you know that you have a virus? Is an anti-virus
      popping up and telling you this? What anti-virus?

      I have seen false positives pop up with respect to Cygwin (more often) and MinGW (less often)
