Thanks for pointing this out.
I'm aware of this issue with Avira, and I'm working on a fix for it.
this might happen because FoxSpeed modifies some registry settings at HKLM TCP/IP
Avira looks for executables that may access that registry zones and labels them as virus because most of virus tend to do so.
In this case it is a false positive, the most recent Avira version Heuristics is having a lot of false positives.
If you still want to use it, disable Avira while downloading and using Foxspeed.
If Foxspeed where a virus, It would be taken off Sourceforge long time ago.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, seems like besides accessing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters, the other reason is I'm using a .Net obfuscator to protect FoxSpeed from reverse enginnering/decompilation, ConfuserEx https://yck1509.github.io/ConfuserEx/
So, some AV software does not like this, as they think it might be some kind of encripted virus. but as You all can see if FoxSpeed was a Virus it would be detected by Avast, ESET NOD32 and Kaspersky, as some of the best AV I know.
I think I will be switching to another Obfuscator and also a way to sign and authenticate FoxSpeed (but this cost money I currently don't have)
Stay tuned for upcoming changes and thanks for the feedback and support.

I have to ask. °-°
Sourceforge is an open source platform, and you're telling that you need to obfuscate the compilation of your program.
I understand that you maybe developped something in that program that you want maybe to sell, but if I understand well it's quite contradictory with the platform.

I'm using Avira Antivirus.
It was detecting foxspeed 0.15 as a virus type TR/ATRAPS.
So I submitted it to Avira as possible false Positive.
Here's their verdict....that it's a malware.

Do you know why?

ok thank you ^-^
Hi. Me too!
Quihoo 360 came up with Heur/QVM03.0.Malware.Gen on a Full Scan but not in Virus Total.
VT comes up with 6 hits now.

Thanks for pointing this out.
As you can see only some AV mark it as virus.
I'm still looking a proper fix for this.

I know it is contradictory, but that's how I decided to go with it.
I hope you understand.
