    My NAV popped-up with a warning about a virus (VCG.Ket) in the "dpatoolkit_0_24_0_src’ CodeGenerators’ Generators’ LanguageGenerators’ CPlusPlus’ CPlusPlusCodeGenerator.cs" file, which it was forced to quarantine.

      No need to worry, a simple rename will solve the problem,
      Other antivirus softwares like  antivir, AVG, doesnt detect any virus.

      This is a marvellous project,but..
      My preliminary search shows that this file is almost always associated with malicious code activities, please educate me the need which leds to such a dependency on this module that we risk the acceptance of our project among the general programming community.

        I assure you that there is nothing malicious,
        I am not a virus writer :) and why would i choose .NET to write a virus :)
        Its nothing but the c++ code generator file,
        If you want you can unzip the sources in a OS like linux/unix/mac where the claimed VCG virus cant work and analyze the source.

        Also you can solve this problem by simple renaming , https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1536093&group_id=124709&atid=700340

      Update : You can check for the presence of viruses using www.virustotal.com using at least 30 different anti - virus softwares! And every release goes through this step.
