    So I was searching alternative IDE for C++ since I dont really like Code Blocks. After a while I found Orwell Dev-C++ which looked promising so I decided to give it a try (I downloaded version with MinGW from SourceForge (Dev-Cpp 5.5.3 MinGW 4.7.2 Setup.exe). However before installing it to my computer I decided to scan it in Virustotal and it found 2 detections: TROJ_GEN.F47V1205 (by TrendMicro-HouseCall) and suspected of Malware-Cryptor.FSP.gen (by VBA32). You can see the scan report from here ---> https://www.virustotal.com/fi/file/1f81b8288177572bd166da415df5bc8d49d78fd9ce2eb2e0098fc9f5f8114ca6/analysis/1390336018/

    However Orwell Dev-C++ with TDM-GCC (Dev-Cpp 5.5.3 TDM-GCC x64 4.7.1 setup.exe) appears to be clean according to Virustotal scan (https://www.virustotal.com/fi/file/75addd4463ee367bb304c3c79bd5c5c56e82e5b6e11209c629c9a433c88e5e07/analysis/1390335912/)

    So are those 2 detections only false positives or is Orwell Dec-C++ MinGW really infected?

    Probably false positives. I've been using Dev-C++ for over a year now and I never got anything from Avast, nor has my computer burst into flames. :P
